Seanna

Seanna was originally found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. She had no hair and was extremely thin. While at the shelter, the staff fell in love with her sweet and outgoing personality despite her lack of good looks. She was turned over to rescue for treatment and placement. Since arriving in foster care, Seanna has grown a beautiful brindle coat. She gets along well with her foster brother and sisters and enjoys the company of children. Seanna will still need surgery to correct a cherry eye and will be spayed and heartworm treated prior to adoption. She goes in for her surgical evaluation on Friday, Mar 21. Seanna's shining personality makes us believe she will make someone a wonderful pet once her medical ordeal is completed. Seanna loves to play tug-o-war, enjoys one on one attention, and will put her head in her favorite person's lap to ask for petting. She REALLY likes toys and flips them into the air when playing. Seanna should not be placed in a home with cats - she seems a bit too curious and would love to chase if given the chance. Seanna is being fostered by the Cooks family in Jacksonville.

Dixie

Dixie came into our program from an animal cruelty case December 2006. She was emaciated, frightened, and in the last few days of a pregnancy. She stayed in foster care long after her puppies were weaned and adopted. She was a very sweet girl but also very timid. When she got frightened she would seek out her crate for comfort. But with lots of love, attention, and good nutrition she finally started to come around. She learned in her foster home that she could be happy. Her favorite thing to do was playing with her foster brothers and sister. If she wasn't playing, she wanted to cuddle on the couch. Dixie had been in our program for almost a year but we knew she was just waiting patiently for that perfect home. And she found it! She is now living with her new mom and boxer brother Riley and she is spoiled rotten. She loves her brother very much. They play all day together and even snuggle together at night. Her mom couldn't be happier, "They just fit!" she told us.

Amilee

Amilee is a sweet wiggly girl who needed a lot of care before she could be adopted. She came into a rural shelter 15 lbs underweight, heartworm positive, and missing much of the hair on her legs and body from stress and malnutrition. She is all better now, no more heartworms, a beautiful coat, lots of confidence, and a loving home of her own.

Truman

Jasper

Jasper is a two year old male who was surrendered by his previous owner because she did not have enough time to devote to him. He is getting along well with his boxer foster sister and the jury is still out on how he will be with the cat...so far it seems like he will be ok. He loves to go for walks and loves to "box" out in the backyard with his foster sister! He is good on a leash and even though he was never crated previously, he is doing well in his crate. Gives LOTS of kisses! Housetrained. Jasper has been neutered and is currently available for adoption. Jasper is being fostered in the greater Jacksonville area by Courtney and Dan.

Chip

Chip is a cutie! He is a sweet, fairly laid back little Boxer boy who we think is around 18 months old. He has a smaller stature but at 45 lbs, he is underweight. He was impounded by an animal shelter on the panhandle and then turned over to BARC for rehabilitation and placement. As you can tell from the pictures, he is quickly making himself at home at his foster parent's house!
Chip has not had any accidents in the house and has been nothing but a well-behaved little boy. He is working on his leash manners. Chip is recovering from kennel cough and will be available for adoption after that. Chip is being fostered by Ann in Navarre.

Comments from foster home: Chip cries in his crate for a short time at night. Because his cry is so faint, I thought he couldn’t bark, but he let out a deep, loud bark when somebody rang the door bell one afternoon. Chip is very laid back! He likes to chew on his toys, but he spends a lot of time following me around and lying down whenever I’m stationary. I think Chip would make a wonderful pet for almost any type of household!

Lola

Lola a beautiful 3-5 year old fawn female. She is an extremely lovable, calm, little bundle of “boxer”! She was surrendered by her owners to a local shelter, and all she craves is love. She gives tons of kisses and wiggles all around when you talk to her and pet her. Her face is irresistible, as it is quite wrinkly and smushy. Moreover, she creates the cutest facial expressions and takes any attention she can get!

Lola is extremely well-behaved during all of her daily activities. She’s almost too good to be true! She walks well on her leash; is housebroken (never had an accident in the house); crate trained; and has no interest in chewing household items. It even took her awhile to start picking up and playing with her foster brother’s toys! Overall, Lola’s hobbies include napping, eating, and playing with her foster brother, Winston. Winston has a lot more energy than Lola does; therefore, she takes frequent breaks to rest while playing with him.

Lola is really petite, weighing around 40 lbs. Right now, she is in the process of gaining a little bit of weight and is filling out nicely. Lola was treated for heartworms and spayed prior to being turned over to BARC for placement, and she will be available for adoption by the end of the month. Lola is currently being fostered by Lisa and Josh in Jacksonville and would do very well in a home where she’d get lots of attention from her owner(s).

Dahlia

Dahlia is a lovely and sweet three year old flashy fawn lady whose former family saw her main purpose as a backyard puppy maker. When this was no longer lucrative, they passed her off to a shelter in rural south Georgia, who then turned her over to BARC for rehabilitation and placement.

Dahlia is all better and has found her forever home! It was love at first sight between her and the Hardin family of Jacksonville! [More]

Flynn

When Flynn's former owner decided he didn't have time for him anymore, he dumped him and BARC dog Camellia at a panhandle shelter. The shelter explained that due to overcrowding, Flynn and Cammie would likely have to be put to sleep and their former owner signed their lives away without a care. Not a very good way to treat a friend, is it?

Fortunately, Flynn and Camellia are now tucked safely in the BARC program. Flynn is estimated to be about eight years old and Cammie is about 5-7 years old. They are currently receiving all medical treatments and will be available for adoption within the next month. Please consider opening your heart (and your home) to one or both of these beautiful animals. Flynn is being fostered by Frank and Norma in Tallahassee.

8/31 Update from foster home: Flynn is a great dog and a typical velcro Boxer who follows his foster parents from room to room, always wanting to be where they are. He is good with dogs and kitties. He is a laid back guy and would make a loyal and loving companion for a lucky new person/family. Senior Boxers are one of the world's best kept secrets! Please visit our learning section link for more info on how great a relationship this can be and give Flynn a chance to show you what an awesome guy he is!

Dougan

Dougan is a handsome young male who was surrendered by his owners for digging. He is 2 years old and previously lived as an outside dog. He is well mannered in the house and gets along well with other dogs. He seems to enjoy house life very much – as it’s so luxurious compared to being outside all day, and he loves to play and lounge around with his foster brother, Winston. Dougan is an “attention hog” and absolutely loves being talked to and loved on. When talked to, he contorts his body into the shape of a kidney bean and does the famous “boxer wiggle”. Dougan will remain in his B.A.R.C. foster home forever due to a heart condition known as aortic stenosis. We looked into treatment options for Dougan and he would have been considered for a pioneer study that might have very well helped him, but because he is also afflicted with heartworms, he was not a candidate for this program. This is so unfortunate for poor Dougan. There is really no telling how long Dougan’s lifespan is. At B.A.R.C., we treat him as any other dog, allow him to play with his foster brother as much as he wants, play with toys, eat yummy treats, etc. He currently has no restrictions and seems to be a happy, well-adjusted dog.

Boxer kisses to Pat and John of Lake City, FL for sponsoring Dougan! [More]

June

June is a 4-6 year old female who was originally found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. When no one came for her, the shelter treated her for heartworms and placed her with B.A.R.C. for placement. June gets along well with other dogs and is good with children. She is calm, yet has spunk. She likes to try to play tug-of-war with her leash when walking and is excited to meet new people. June has been spayed and is ready to find her new home. She is being fostered by Angie in the Greater Jacksonville area. Angie is working with June on not jumping up to meet new people and walking better on the leash.

Stella

Stella is a two to three year old brindle female who was originally rescued from a neglectful situation by one of our local shelter partners and then turned over to rescue for placement. She is a beautiful dog and has a glowing personality. She loves getting attention from people and enjoys being pet. She is doing well with leash training using a special collar. Stella is a very smart girl. Stella gets along well with other dogs in the home, but needs integration work with dogs outside the home. She is good in her crate and hasn't had an accident in the house since arriving into our program. Stella has been spayed and vaccinated. Stella is being fostered by Trudy in Jacksonville.

Update! We always thought Stella walked on water and now she has a video> to prove it!

Bianca has found a home with a retired, boxer-experienced owner in Atlantic Beach, FL with whom she spends a lot of time.

Bunny

Bunny came to us as part of a cruelty case. She was very thin, but pregnant when we first received her into BARC. Since having her puppies and becoming comfortable in her foster home, Bunny has blossomed into a very well-mannered and sociable girl. She is extremely sweet and seems very gentle with children she has come into contact with. She follows her foster mom from room to room. Bunny is approximately 4 yrs old. She gets along well with her foster brother and sisters and enjoys playtime in the yard. Bunny was adopted by Eric and Gretchen of Jacksonville.

Collin

Hi there, my name is Collin. I am a flashy brindle male about 2 years old. I was abandoned in an apartment by my other family and was taken to animal control and thankfully I was then placed in the BARC program. I don’t understand why my old parents would move without me. I am now in foster care with three foster sisters and my foster mom and dad. I get along great with my bigger foster sister and have learned not to be so rough with my two little foster sisters since they are small. I really enjoy having another dog to play with but I could definitely be spoiled and live by myself with a tennis ball or a rope toy. My foster parents call me a klutz but it is not my fault that the walls keep jumping out in front of me while I am playing. My foster dad says that I have become his shadow, whatever that means? I am very active and really enjoy playing and running outside. I am housetrained and crate trained and know where my boundaries are in the house. I do need to work on my leash and command training but I am smart and have been getting better everyday. I am a little underweight right now (about 15 pounds) but I am eating good to gain some more weight. If you would like to adopt me please fill out an application. I know times are tough and taking care of me will require monthly heartworm prevention, vet visits, food and some comfy bedding, so if you aren’t sure you will be able to take care of me, please pass. I have already been abandoned once; I don’t want to go through it again. See you soon!!

Bruce

Bruce is a two year old fawn male who has just entered the B.A.R.C. program via one of our local shelter partners. Bruce was originally found as a stray and was not reclaimed by his owner. Bruce has been vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered and will be ready for adoption by the end of the month. Bruce only weighs about 40-45 lbs and is a small male. He has a natural tail which always wags happily in a circle. Bruce is new to the program, but he seems to know how to "sit"and "shake". He is an active boy who could benefit from leash training. Bruce is beng fostered by Kristie and John in St. Augustine.

Lacy

Lacy is a beautifully marked female who is about 2 years of age. She was surrendered by her owner to a local shelter. Lacy seems to get along well with children and other dogs and previously lived in a home with a male boxer.

Lacy is a typical boxer, full of wiggles. She was recently treated for heartworms and has been spayed. Lacy has been placed in her forever home with Bob and Jeannie and is doing great!

Julia

Julia is a beautiful flashy brindle girl who found herself in an overnight drop pen at a local animal control. After her stray period, Julia was adopted, but her new owners returned her after finding out she had heartworms. B.A.R.C. was contacted by the shelter to treat and place Julia in a forever home. Julia should not be placed in a home with larger dogs or cats. She will sit for a treat and is a gentle girl. Julia LOVES to give kisses to her special person and is a very affectionate boxer. Julia pulls on leash, but seems to be a quick learner, so will work on this while in foster care. Julia has been spayed, vaccinated, and treated for heartworms. She is being fostered by Kirby and Amy in St. Johns.

Isaac

Marley

I was born on November 4, 2007 from my Mother Bunny, I had several sisters and brothers. We were saved by B.A.R.C. and found foster homes, eventually leading us to our homes forever. I am deaf and I was named Marley while being fostered by the Peacocks. I lived with them and my foster brother Levi while they taught me some of my basic signs.

When I came to my new home on May 9, 2008 my new family fell hard for me. I have a new pack member now his name is E.J. I am learning my place in the pack very fast. My new name is B.O.L.O., which means “Be On The Look Out”. I am a very good boy and have my own swimming pool that I am still figuring out. Also two hand made beds to lay in whenever I want.

I have discovered the beanbag chair in the office where I lay when my Mom is on the computer.

I have my kennel in the master bedroom with my toys where I sleep through the whole night. My family takes me on walks and I have a new leash and harness. I am learning to wear the harness I really don’t care for it too much, but my family feels better when I wear it. I don’t go in the kennel with it on because my family doesn’t feel comfortable. They always think about my safety, E.J. comes to check on me all of the time. Sometimes he wakes me from my naps to check on me. On my first night here I tested the waters and got on the bistro table in the kitchen to watch my family in the driveway. EJ barked and told on me he’s always watching out for me. I think he likes me more than he thinks. He is very patient with me.

I am going to meet my new vet next week. The vet is very excited to meet me and have been made aware of my special needs. My new pack mate E.J. is going with me so I don’t have to be scared. He will always go with me to the vet because we all go as a family. I will also start working with a professional obedience trainer the following week, who is also aware of my special needs, and ready for the challenge.

Thank you to the Peacocks, Levi and B.A.R.C. for giving me an opportunity to find a loving family and a home for the rest of my life. I look forward to coming to some of the events for B.A.R.C. in Jacksonville to show off all the new things I have learned.

Many boxer wiggles and boxer kisses,

B.O.L.O. and family

Milo

Milo is one of Bunny’s puppies, born November 4. Bunny came into our program in late October, very pregnant, from one of our shelter partners. She was part of a cruelty case and spent two months at an animal control facility.

Prior to adoption, all of Bunny’s puppies will be dewormed, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered. The puppies will be available for adoption after the New Year.

Please research the boxer breed and be sure that you will have the time and dedication needed to housebreak, train, and care for a boxer puppy for the next 10-15 years prior to applying to adopt. If you find that you are not up for the challenge of a puppy, please consider adopting one of our adult dogs. Many of our adult dogs are already housebroken, crate trained, and know basic obedience. Their temperaments have been testing in a variety of situations and we are able to tell you a lot about them prior to adoption.

Jasmine

I'm Jasmine! I'm a 16 month old flashy brindle girl and I'm looking for a new family to call my own. Like many female Boxers, I can be a bossy gal with other dogs but I would be well suited for a placement with a male canine friend. Basically, I would just love a new person/family who will be as committed to me as I will be to them. Previously, I lived with three dogs and four children. They were renting and were not allowed to have big dogs, so when the landlord found out, I was dumped at the shelter.

You may be surprised to know that my previous family paid a high price for me at a mall-based pet store. This major national pet-store chain purchased me from a puppy mill in Kansas. Although they paid a lot of money for me, they shouldn't have bought me at all and here is why: read buying pet store puppies and help others understand what they can do to stop the cruelty that my parents and other dogs at puppy mills suffer. If you read it, you'll see why even though when you walk into a pet store and see an adorable puppy like I was (and I was!) you won't buy me. If people didn't buy from places like this, they wouldn't sell puppies, and without the market the cruelty ends. It's as simple as that. WOOF!

Dakota

Dakota is a youngster (2 years old) with a sweet disposition and a puppy's enthusiasm.

She is a high energy dog with a need to run, so she'll do best in a home with a securely fenced yard or as a running partner to help make those miles more fun.

When off leash she's a very fast runner who will chase a frisbee forever but wants to play keep-away once she has it. Suggestion - always have two on hand! She'll come back for a whistle, but she runs right past like a bullet train! She also jumps with ease and will happily try to follow any squirrel up his tree.

Once she gets enough exercise, Dakota is content to hang out with her people - snoozing in her crate or on her dog bed or cuddling on the couch when invited.

She gets along well with other dogs and loves all people. She's very smart and eager to please, so she learns quickly. Because of her athleticism, ease with other dogs, and facility for learning new things, Dakota would be a prime candidate for agility training.

Quin

Quin is one of Bunny’s puppies, born November 4. Bunny came into our program in late October, very pregnant, from one of our shelter partners. She was part of a cruelty case and spent two months at an animal control facility.

Laila

Laila is the cutest little velcro Boxer girl-full of wiggles! She follows her foster mom everywhere. We estimate that Laila is about four years old. She arrived in the BARC program from a North Florida shelter partner and is currently being treated for skin problems and dental issues. Laila appears to be housetrained and crate trained. She is working on leash manners and learning not to jump on people. Like all Boxers, she craves human attention. She would love a home where she is the only dog or just has one brother to boss around. Laila should not be placed in a home with cats. She is being fostered by Michelle in Tallahassee. Please check back for updates on very loving little Laila!

Violet

Violet's story demonstrates the incredible nature of the Boxer breed. This skinny little stray puppy was hit by a car in South Georgia. She suffered two broken legs and a bilaterally broken jaw. Although Violet was in intense pain from these serious injuries, she knew people were there to help and was so sweet natured she just licked everyone's face.

After a long recovery to perfect health, Violet is finally settled into her home with a full "pack" of people and other dogs.

A special thank you to Dr. David DuLaney of VCA Greater Savannah Animal Hospital. [More]

Scout

Scout is a young female who has already been through a lot of difficult times. Found as an emaciated stray, we believe that she was hit by a car. X-rays revealed that her pelvis was broken in two places, but due to the fact that she had a good range of motion, the orthopedic specialist did not recommend surgery. She has recovered well, but must limit exercise in order to prevent further injury. She also cannot be allowed to overeat as gaining too much weight would cause undue stress on her pelvis. Scout gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. Scout had been adopted by Apryl in Orange Park.

Kenny

Kenny is a 2-3 year old boxer who was turned over to B.A.R.C. by one of our local shelter partners when he was not reclaimed as a stray. Kenny is neutered, is heartworm negative and is ready for adoption. He gets along well with other dogs and is learning some basic obedience while in foster care. Like any young boxer, he is an active boy and would enjoy a home that can keep him busy. Kenny is being fostered by Ann in St. Augustine.

Bogey

Bogey is a 2 year old white male who was surrendered to a local shelter partner by his owner. He seems to get along well with other dogs and is crate trained. He has been exposed to children and seemed fine with them. Bogey walks well on a leash if given the "heel" command, knows how to "sit" and gives paw on command. Bogey has found his new home with Amy and David of Jacksonville.

Lucy

My name is Lucy! I have a lot of energy and love to run and play. I love children and I always want to play and kiss
them. My other family moved and said they couldn't take me. I would really love to have a home that would keep me forever. I will reward my new family with kisses and dedication, so if you are looking for a dog that will play and run and love you forever, consider me!

Update from foster home:
Lucy has graduated from an obedience course with flying colors! She is very well-mannered and knows lots of commands. She is good with other dogs and cats. She is ready for adoption now! If you might be interested in Lucy, please complete an online application.

Dottie

Hi, my name is Dottie! I'm about 2 years old and came from a shelter after my previous owners couldn't take care of me. I've had at least one litter of puppies, and so while I'm only two, I've got an old spirit and am quite calm. I do really well in my crate when my foster parents go to work and am so excited to see them when they get home. I have an older foster brother who still loves to play, I'm not sure about all this boxing he likes to do, but I love chewing on the toys in the house. I know not to chew on furniture or anything I'm not supposed to.

I've never really walked on a leash, so I need some practice, but love having time with you outside. My foster parents are teaching me how to sit to get my feet wiped when I come in the house and I'm learning really quickly! Pretty soon I'll be ringing a bell to let them know I need to go outside. I love to cuddle and I follow my foster parents around the house. Even though I'm in a new place, I sleep through the night until it's time to get up in the morning. I get along with other dogs, but haven't met any kids yet in my new house, but I've had pups of my own so I think I'd do pretty good. Check out my pictures - I'm pretty cute and have a super soft coat. I hope that you'll let me be part of your family. I'm currently being fostered by Aaron and Bethany in St. Augustine. [More]

Miley

Miley was found as an extremely emaciated stray boxer in southern Georgia. She was so thin that even just before giving birth, no one had any idea that she was pregnant with seven puppies. This is a letter from her foster mom. Miley was humanely euthanized on May 8 due to advanced lymphoma.

It’s hard to imagine what was going through Miley’s head the first time I clicked her collar around her neck and led her by leash to my car. Though she didn’t seem to mind my attention, she certainly wasn’t excited about climbing into the front seat of my vehicle. After assisting her into the seat, I began the drive home, believing that she had slipped through the clutches of a harsh life on the street and into the safety of my home and my life.

Miley was timid; she trusted no one. Whenever a stranger appeared at the door, she cowered under the kitchen table. If anyone raised his voice or made an unexpected noise, she flinched. She lived in constant anticipation of a harsh hand. Despite the fact that her first human family failed her terribly, she craved the love and affection of her new one. Like all Boxers, she wanted to be a lap dog. Our first evening together was spent with the two of us piled into the rocking chair.

Her first visit to the vet revealed that she was approximately two years old, was heartworm positive, had intestinal parasites, multiple broken teeth, and was 15 to 20 pounds underweight. The vet later explained that the damage to her teeth was likely caused by a life of confinement in which she probably tried to chew her way to escape. In addition to this, her white blood cell count was high and she had some type of infection for which the vet prescribed an antibiotic. Less than a week later, she was back at the vet’s office, this time for a mysterious bite on her hind leg believed to be caused by a spider. She spent four nights on an antibiotic drip with the vet before coming home. Her physical appearance was pitiful, but clearly this dog had a spirit and will to live that would not be defeated.

Miley had been in my home for a month when her biggest surprise was revealed: seven puppies. The vet was as shocked as I that she could carry puppies in her weakened condition. He told me that with a litter that large, it was not uncommon for one or more of the pups to be sickly and eventually neglected by the mother. In addition to this news, I learned that Miley should not have been vaccinated during her pregnancy. She was so malnourished and emaciated that it never occurred to me or to the vet that she might be carrying puppies.

Miley beat the odds again, this time with her puppies. Not only did all seven survive, they thrived. Even when clearly exhausted, she was always attentive to their needs. Though having eight dogs in one house was trying at times, in six short weeks, it was time to separate puppies from mother. The litter was sent to a foster home so that they could acclimate to life without Miley before being separated from each other.

It was during the last few days with the puppies that I began to realize that Miley’s health was beginning to decline. Impossibly, she was losing weight despite being given a healthy diet for two months. An appointment was made with the vet. New blood work would be done. Quite likely, nursing seven puppies had exhausted her. That evening as I swept the back patio, Miley, as always, was my company. She was happy that night. It occurred to me that it was the first time since I had known her to be happy. I believe that Miley was realizing that she was worthy of being loved. In all the ways humans had failed her, neglecting to teach her this was their biggest failure of all. She wagged her tail as she followed me around the yard. Many times, she stood up, putting her paws on my waist and letting me rub her head. When I was finished cleaning the patio, I sat on the back step with Miley beside me. With having a full-time job and two small children, this was not something I had really taken the time to do before then. But that night, Miley and I sat together for some time with not even enough room for our shadows in-between us. That was Miley’s last night.

Thursday morning, she couldn’t walk well. I naively hoped she had slept the wrong way and would be able to walk it off. When she refused her breakfast, I knew something was wrong. Instead of eating, she lied down behind the banana tree, the same tree where her puppies were born. Something inside of me knew that there was nothing more to be done. Though her spirit could champion over her cruel past, her body could not. Miley was put to sleep that evening. The vet said she had cancer and in her physical state, could not tolerate the treatment. There was no other choice. I think Miley knew her responsibility to her puppies was over and just wanted to go to sleep.

Miley’s blanket is still where she slept, and her bowls are still behind the banana tree where I placed them that last day. In the next few days, I’ll put them away, but right now, it’s just too soon. It’s hard to write this, but I don’t have any regrets. I’m glad Miley’s puppies have a chance at living the kind of life that she deserved. I’m glad that if she had to die, she could do so peacefully and not scared and alone. Most of all, I’m glad that this gentle creature got a chance to experience what all dogs should experience: the knowledge that her presence brought joy into the lives of those who loved her. -Miley's foster mom, Jennifer.

Cassio

Cassio was found wandering on the Florida panhandle. After waiting many weeks at the shelter for someone to take him home, he was turned over to us for placement. Cassio has a very mild case of demodectic mange and is currently under treatment. He has been vaccinated and neutered and tested negative for heartworms. Cassio is a beautiful one year old boy who appears to be a typical loving Boxer. Please check back for updates on Cassio!

Britta

Britta is a 3 yr old female who entered the B.A.R.C. program following an animal cruelty/neglect investigation. Britta had double-entropian which is a hereditary eyelid disorder requiring surgery. Britta underwent surgery in June and is now ready for adoption! She is an active girl who would enjoy the ability to run off some energy in a nice backyard or park. She is a typical female, somewhat bossy with her foster brother, but they get along well and we’re sure she’d do well in a multi-dog household. Britta is being fostered by Jamie and Eddie in Jacksonville.

Bryce

Bryce is one of seven puppies born to Miley on March 25th. Bryce and his brothers and sisters came into the world with no home to call their own. Bryce is the only puppy with what appears to be a docked tail. He was born this way. He is the runt of the litter, weighing about 2 lbs less than the other pups. He is very energetic and is usually playing with toys and his litter mates.

Raising a boxer puppy demands a 10-15 year commitment, patience, and willingness to deal with training issues specific to young, energetic dogs. Please consider all of these factors before applying to adopt a puppy.

If you find that you are not up for the challenge of a puppy, please consider adopting one of our adult dogs. Many of our adult dogs are already housebroken, crate trained, and know basic obedience. Their temperaments have been tested in a variety of situations and we are able to tell you a lot about them prior to adoption.

Kaiser

Kaiser is a big (73 lbs) fawn boy who is new to our program. This six/seven year old male has a classic Boxer face does a splendid wiggle for everyone he meets. He is being fostered in Tallahassee and will be ready for adoption at the end of the month. Kaiser has tested well with cats, but as aways some integration work may be needed to ensure the safety of the house cats in his adoptive home. Please check back for updates on Kaiser!

Cheelios

Hi! My name is Buster, previously known as Cheelios. I wanted to show you my favorite spot in the house (check out my picture). I love my new home with my canine sister, Desoto and my new mom and Dad. I have been playing non-stop since I have gotten here. My new parents love to go boating so I have lots of boating trips planned in my future. I am also trying to learn Frisbee but I haven’t quite mastered that yet. My parents can’t thank you enough for recommending me to them!

Dexter

Dexter is a 1-2 yr old male who was found as a stray and turned over to B.A.R.C. for placement after his owner was not located by one of our shelter partners. Dexter has demodectic mange and will be treated for this skin condition prior to placement in his adoptive home. Dexter gets along very well with other dogs and is a smart boy. He already knows how to "sit" and "shake" and is more than willing to give hugs. Dexter is a large boy and is currently being fostered in Jacksonville by Jill and Paul. Dexter is a candidate for our foster-to-adopt program.

Hamburglar

Hammy entered the B.A.R.C. program after being seized by animal control in a cruelty/neglect case. Hammy is a 3 yr old neutered male . He has completely recovered from a horrible case of demodectic mange, is heartworm negative, gets along great with other dogs and seems curious, but mostly indifferent, about cats (he sniffs and is easily distracted). Hammy is ready to find his forever home. He is currently being fostered by Eric and Gretchen in Jacksonville.

Colby Cheese (Kipper)

Cheese was found in a box on the side of the road in a rural north Florida town. He is a very lucky boy that a kind soul saw him and his siblings and took them in. Cheese is approximately 13 weeks old and has received his first and second vaccinations and dewormings. We believe that Cheese is a boxer/retriever mix as he has webbed toes. Cheese has been neutered and is currently available for adoption. He is being fostered in Jacksonville by Kevin and Nicole.

Madeline

Sometimes a dog comes into foster care and well, they just fit so darn well in the foster home that it is clear this is where they are always meant to stay. Such was the case with Madeline Rae Hummel. Maddie is now permanently at home with the Hummel family of Navarre. [More]

Raisin

Raisin is a beautiful one year old female Boxer. She was surrendered to a Georgia shelter when her family moved and decided not to take her along. After waiting quite awhile for a new home, she was turned over to B.A.R.C. for placement.

Raisin gets along well with the other dogs, cats, and kids in her foster home. She has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She has started her heartworm treatment as her former owner did not keep her on heartworm prevention. Click here to see a BARC video> about why this is so devastating. Raisin is being fostered by Dana in Statesboro, GA.

Blanca

Hi, my name is Blanca. I am about 14-weeks old and looking for my forever home. I was surrendered by my owner of one week because I would not stay in the backyard unattended. I just love to explore! Playing in traffic was not a good idea, so I found B.A.R.C. as an alternative. I would like someone to teach me some manners and show me bunches of love and attention. I have so much puppy energy I could play all day! I also like to take a good nap after playing very hard. My foster mom calls me Miss Bossy because even though I am so small compared to my foster sisters, I just like to be the one calling the shots. I am not very fond of car rides and talk to my foster mom the entire way to the vet office. I am working right now on crate and potty training as well as walking on a leash, so someone with patience would be a great match for me. Everyone says I am so cute and of course I am! Please remember though, I am going to grow into a big girl one day and need someone willing to commit 10-15 years to my total happiness. I have been spayed. Are you my soul mate? Please complete an online application if you are. See you soon!

Blake

Blake was tossed from a moving vehicle along with another puppy and two kittens. He was surrendered to B.A.R.C. by an onlooker. Blake is believed to be about 10-11 weeks old and has made great improvement since we took him into the program. He is a happy puppy with a great attitude despite his rough start. Blake is doing well with his housebreaking. At night, he barks in his kennel when he needs to go potty and rarely has accidents when he is left in the kennel during the day. Blake's favorite activities are sleeping and going to work with his foster mom. He also enjoys playing in the laundry. Blake is being fostered by Hayley and Whit in Brunswick, GA and will be neutered prior to adoption.

Cletus

Cletus was found as a stray and turned over to B.A.R.C. for placement by one of our North Florida shelter partners when his owner did not reclaim him. Cletus is about 1-2 yrs old and gets along great with other dogs. He has a healthy appetite and will be neutered and vaccinated prior to adoption. Cletus will go into his crate for a treat and appears to be housebroken. He is somewhat timid around new situations, but enjoys the company of people and is an affectionate boy. He is doing really well, getting comfortable in his foster home and coming out of his shell. Cletus is learning how to sit and lay down on command. Please check back for updates on Cletus. He is being fostered by Christian and Hannah in Jacksonville Beach.

Mahoney

My name is Mahoney and I am a 10 month old neutered male who is looking for an active new home. I previously lived with children, but I tend to jump a lot so teenagers might be best for me if you have kids. I weigh about 55 lbs right now and could stand to gain some more as I am a growing boy! I enjoy the company of other dogs and everyone here is pretty sure that I'm housebroken. I'll need some obedience training to become a valued member of your family - I'm a strong boy and pull on the leash because I just LOVE walks and want to get to where we're going right away! I'm being fostered in Tallahassee and can't wait to meet my new family.

Darielle

Darielle (French for "little darling") originally came to us as a victim of Hurricane Katrina from a shelter in Terrebonne Parish, LA in 2006. She was adopted, but returned due to her owners going through some life changing events. She is a beautiful 4 year old petite flashy fawn with floppy ears and a docked tail and deserves to find a forever home. She is great with other dogs, housebroken and very loveable. Darielle does not need to be crated and respects the boundary of a baby gate if it is necessary to keep her in or out of certain areas of the house. She has already been spayed and her vaccines have been updated. Darielle is being fostered by Jason and Carrie in Jax Bch.

Jerry

Morgan

Morgan is a 4-5 year old female who is already housebroken, knows her basic obedience commands and gets along great with other dogs. Morgan has been vaccinated and spayed. Morgan prefers not to be crated, and is doing well left out of her crate. She is ready and available to join a loving family.

Adrie

Adrie had a guardian angel watching out for her. She is only 3 months old and was found by someone visiting Port St. Joe, who was nice enough to take her to the shelter, who then contacted BARC. She is playful and loves people. She doesn't realize that she is a little puppy because she tries to play with her foster brothers and sister(who are much bigger than her), in typical boxer style.....rough. She also loves to snuggle and it's tempting to just let her fall asleep in my lap! She enjoys playing with my kids and is an overall happy puppy. If you would like Adrie to join your family, please fill out an application online today.

Joey

Just look at this handsome gent with his beautiful, doelike eyes! We estimate that Joey is approximately seven years old. Poor guy was put in the overnight drop box at a panhandle shelter but now he is here at BARC to start a new life. He is is a laid back fellow who has plenty of companionship and love to offer some lucky person. Joey is being fostered by Lea in the Milton, FL area. Please check back for updates on this special dog.

Update from foster home 9/4/08: He loves to play with toys especially anything that squeaks! He will chase you around the yard and enjoys making a game out of just about anything. He is a classy gent with a great sense of humor about him. He is basically a giant teddy bear- as gentle as they come. Joey is very people focused but gets along great with male and female dogs and kitties too. He walks well on a leash and is just a well- mannered, fun-loving, great all around Boxer gentleman. Who could ask for more? Fill out an application and bring handsome Joey into your life!

Sadie

Hi, I'm Sadie. I am eight years young with a lot of spunk. I can jump six feet in the air, but for the most part I am a calm, gentle dog. I was surrendered to a shelter when my owners decided they no longer wanted me or my basset hound brother. I did have some puppies about three years ago- I suppose my owners got what they needed from me and then decided that I wasn't worth caring for any longer. They stopped giving me heartworm prevention and later dumped me in the shelter. As a result, I am heartworm positive, but I am on prevention to help get rid of those worms. Due to me being a middle-aged lady, and the fact that I am better left out of the crate (I have some anxiety about crates but I'm fine without one), BARC veterinarians recommended I be treated using a Heartguard regimen rather than the faster course of treatment. I wag my little butt and I'm quite a show off. I'm liking my foster home, but can't wait to find a home of my own again!

Izzie

Izzie is a beautiful young brindle female who, unfortunately, was hit by a car in Clay County. After being transported to the local emergency vet, it was discovered that Izzie had a broken left hip. Affiliated Veterinary Specialists performed a Femoral Head Ostectomy and Izzie has recovered well from her surgery. Despite her rough start, Izzie has a wonderful personality, is housebroken, and crate trained. She gets along well with other dogs once she gets to know them and is looking forward to finding her forever home.

Izzie is currently being fostered by Laura and Daniel in Jacksonville. [More]

Marcy

Marcy is approximately 3-5 years old and entered the program after being found as a stray by the local animal control. She weighed only 34 pounds when she entered the program and is currently about 43 pounds. She will remain petite. Marcy likes to play with the Cairn Terrier in her foster home but since he is older and prefers not to play she wrestles around with the two larger males in the household. Although she likes to play with the other dogs, she might not mind being the only dog in a household.

Marcy likes all people and especially loves children. She seems to feel very close with the other Boxer in her foster home. She sometimes crawls in his crate with him and will even lay on top of him even if there's plenty of room on the couch, bed or car. Marcy is housebroken and fairly well crate trained. When it's bedtime, she will go right in and not make a peep. She will still need to complete heartworm treatment prior to adoption. Marcy is being fostered by Melissa in Green Cove Springs, FL.

Tugger

Tugger is a 9-10 month old pup who has spent all of his life prior to coming into our program on a chain. He is now in the loving care of his BARC foster parents and is enjoying playing with his Boxer brother. He loves to play in the swimming pool and cuddle with people. Tugger has received all of his veterinary care and is available for adoption now. Tugger is being fostered by Crystal, Bryan and Jake in Destin.

Ellie May

Hi there! My name is Ellie May and I’m a high-energy Boxer-mix, so the couch potato life is not for me. I love to run and jump and play! My foster moms used to ride her bike and let me run alongside her. It was so much fun!

I am great at listening, but I need a strong leader. I'm so eager to play I get distracted, so I really need to know someone is in charge. I would be super happiest in my new home as the only dog with all the human attention.

I am so good too that I don't need to be crated. I'm not some silly puppy, I'm 3-4 years old and I know things! (And I don't chew-up stuff.) I know how to sit, shake, lie down, and I'm getting really good at stay, but I've heard there are classes where a dog can learn even more. I'd love to go school! I have one quirk though: thunderstorms scare me. I just can't help it, and when the thunder booms, you'll find me under the nearest bed or table that is closest to you. All-in-all I’m very spunky and cheerful, so if you are too I hope you'll come and meet me! I am being fostered by Jeff in Jacksonville, FL.

Jonah

Hi ya'll, my name is Jonah and I am a true southern gentleman. I have impeccable manners in the house, on the leash, and with other dogs. I am just happy to be in a comfortable and safe place with a nice human to keep me company, so whatever goes on is fine with me. One of the best things to happen to me so far was getting a bath and being clean again!

I'm in what you might call my "mid-years"... a little older and wiser than some, which makes me an excellent companion for leisurely walks or watching the bees buzz and snoozing on the porch.

I'm not the handsomest boy around, because someone threw scalding water on my back. So I have some hair loss, but what older fella doesn't, right? Anyway what I lack in looks I more than make up for with my sweet disposition.

I look forward to meeting you sometime in the future. Until then I think I'll just stretch out and bide my time in the sun with these nice folks.

Aidan

Hi!
I wanted to let you know that Rocky has been amazing since we brought him home. Him and Bella are getting along perfectly. They play all day and curl up for naps together. He is doing great on the leash and has even been ignoring the squirrels in the neighborhood. We are so happy to have him and he seems very happy too. Thank you all so much for everything!

Camellia

When Camellia's owner decided he didn't have time for her anymore, he dumped her and Flynn at a panhandle shelter. The shelter explained that due to overcrowding, Cammie and Flynn would likely have to be put to sleep and their former owner signed their lives away without a care. Not a very good way to treat a friend, is it?
Fortunately, Camellia and Flynn are now tucked safely in the BARC program. Cammie is estimated to be approximately 5-6 years old. She is currently receiving all medical treatments and will be available for adoption within the next month. Please consider opening your heart (and your home) to one or both of these beautiful animals. Cammie is being fostered by Angie and Nick in Ludowici, GA

Update from foster home 9/11/08: Cammie is so playful, with such a youthful vibrancy! You cannot tell she is six! She loves walks and so enjoys being outside with you. Her beautiful doe eyes can melt away your heart. It is truly amazing how someone would just abandon her like they did-their loss. She knows "sit" and "in" (when its time to get into her crate so I can go to work) and we're working on other basic commands. She especially knows what "You wanna go for a walk?" means... she'll jet for the door and wait for you! She is housebroken for the most part (a few accidents when she first got here, but they seem to not happen anymore). She is a snuggler, has a beautiful boxer wiggle, and loves to give big sloppy boxer kisses as much as you'll let her. What a gem this girl is! Cammie is ready for her new home now.

Broudy

Broudy entered BARC after his owner passed away and he went through a lengthy legal questioning of his ownership. Due to his previous experiences, he is very shy around people but gets along with all dogs and will instantly start to play with them. He likes to play with the 75 and 43 pound dogs in his foster home but also enjoys snuggling with the Cairn Terrier in his foster family. Broudy gets along well with cats. When he first entered BARC he wouldn't leave his crate unless he had to go to the bathroom. Now, he will only go in his crate if there are a lot of new people in his house but comes out frequently to check on people. He has a harder time warming up to adult males. If there is a female in the house, he will follow them around. If you find Broudy is having a hard time adjusting, the way to his heart is with food. He will go near anyone for a taste of people food. Even when frightened, Broudy shows no signs of aggression. He will simply lean on his owner for comfort. Broudy is housebroken and also enjoys going for walks. He is very well mannered but if you walk him a long leash he will circle around you the entire walk, so a shorter leash is recommended. Broudy is the sweetest, most care-free dog you will ever meet, he just needs time to adjust in new situations. Broudy's foster family tries to get him around new people in different environments on a regular basis. It seems to help his progress. If you let him on the bed or couch with you, he will snuggle for hours and even paw at you and nudge you for attention. If you think you have the time to help Broudy come out of his shell, please fill out an application. Broudy is currently being fostered by April and Larry in Green Cove Springs, FL.

Zena

Zena is a typical 5 year old Boxer, full of goofy energy, that loves exercise and attention. She gets along great with other dogs, cats, and kids. Zena loves to go for rides in the car and play ball in the yard – a great companion for someone with plenty of energy to help keep Zena’s own energy focused on productive activities. She makes a great jogging partner, as she loves the exercise and needs someone who can keep up with her.

She is a beautiful specimen of the breed and everytime she goes for walks her foster mom gets many compliments on how pretty she is. She is a quick learner, but needs a strong pack leader to enforce the rules. Zena would do best with a yard that had a tall fence. She is being fostered by Lea in Milton, FL.

Juno

Juno is a petite little girl in stature and every bit loving in personality. She's one of those dogs that you can just tell is thankful to have been rescued. Her eyes told a very sad story when she first came into our program, but she is becoming quite the happy girl now that she's settling in. Her story was one of an overnight drop pen at a local shelter and three stillborn puppies. All of us at B.A.R.C. wondered how someone could have done such a horrible thing to an expectant mother. Juno is safe and sound in her foster home, has received needed veterinary care and is on her way to finding her forever home. She gets along well with cats and children, is housebroken, and knows a few basic commands already. Juno does not require a lot of exercise, but does enjoy short walks with her special person. Juno also enjoys car rides VERY much. She would prefer a home without very dominant dogs as she seems very fearful of them, but she does blend well into a multi-dog household in her current foster home. Juno is being fostered by Jaki, Cle and Kessie in Jacksonville.

Mae

Mae found her forever family in early February. She joins Ray, Amy, BARC
Alum Jimbo ( formerly known as Jimmy ) and two feline friends - Annabelle &
Ivy - in Bainbridge, GA. There she has a large fenced, wooded lot, balls
and frisbees to catch, sticks to retrieve, ropes to tug, and many squirrels
to chase. Everyone is very happy. We would like to thank the vet who
treated Mae for her head wound. After seeing the 'before' pictures we
expected Mae's scars to be much worse than they actually were. That
really wouldn't have mattered to us though. Just ask Jimbo. A dog's beauty
is on the inside. We thank Angie and Nick for her cosmetic surgery on her
scars.
We'd also like to thank the BARC volunteers - especially Courtney, Mandi,
Joanne, Angie and Nick - for helping bring Mae into our lives in a quick and
dilegent manner. We had just experienced the sudden, violent death of our
female boxer and knowing that BARC was working for us made getting through
the the holidays a little easier. Our home is complete again and we thank
BARC for that. We'd also like to pass along a little secret to those of you
who don't already know this - two boxers are so much more fun than just one!

Nina

Nina is the mother of seven puppies who were surrendered to B.A.R.C. shortly after giving birth. Despite living most of her life as an extremely neglected outside dog, Nina has adjusted to inside living quite nicely. She has fairly good manners in the home, aside from counter surfing, is housebroken and crate trained. Nina tested very low positive for heartworm and is currently on Heartgard for treatment. Nina has been adopted!

Redi

Redi is one of Nina's puppies. They were found living under a trailer in Georgia and later surrendered to B.A.R.C. Nina's puppies are a perfect example of why spay/neuter is so important as "accidents" happen. We believe these pups to be mixed with Labrador Retriever. They are approximately 4 months old. Redi is being fostered by Trudy in Jacksonville Lisa and Mike in Ponte Vedra . She has been spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed and is currently available for adoption. She is a sweetheart who loves to snuggle and give kisses. Redi is one of the smallest in the litter, weighing about 16 lbs at 13 weeks old. She is good about coming when called and is a quick learner. She has already figured out that when her foster mom gets a treat out of the jar that they are going to be put up in the bathroom for the night, so she runs ahead of the others and her foster mom to get to the bathroom first. Redi is good in her crate and is sleeping through the night. [More]

Remington

Hello, World! My name is Remington, but you can call me Remi for short. I am an 18 month old boxer who came to the BARC Program from the panhandle shelter. I enjoy running and playing with my foster brother Apollo and seem to get along with other dogs. However, I do not like the little furballs that "meow". At my last foster home, I decided to take a short adventure.....You can't blame a dog for wanting to see what was going on in the neighborhood. So, I feel that my new home should come with a tall secure fence because I don't want to be known as an escape artist forever.

When I am not playing, I am quite the cuddler and enjoy taking long naps. I enjoy resting my head on a soft pilliow or on my foster brother for extra support. I must admit though, I can clear the room because I tend to snore really loud. Good thing ear plugs don't cost to much!

If I don't mind saying myself, I would make a great addition to someone's family. I am fully vetted and ready to adopt. I am currently staying with Rebecca and Apollo in Jacksonville.

Lotus

Lotus' former owner was a backyard miller who didn't care a lick about anything except making money off her puppies. Fortunately this beautiful girl found her way to BARC before it was too late. We are so glad she did as she is just as sweet as pumpkin pie (with whip cream on top!).

Lotus wants nothing more than to wiggle wag her stumpy tail and be loved on and petted. She is calm and gentle with the two small children and even the kitty in her foster home. Lotus is only estimated to be about three years old, but was obviously not well taken care of by her previous owner. She is currently undergoing treatment for a skin infection and is malnourished. With the loving care and proper nutrition in her foster home, she will soon be a thriving lady and we estimate she will be ready for adoption around the end of the month. Lotus was adopted 12/6 by a great family from Jax Beach. She now makes her home with Matthew & Alli and their two beautiful little daughters, and of course, her canine brother Niro. [More]

Klowee was found as a stray and not reclaimed from a local shelter. She was turned over to B.A.R.C. for treatment and placement. Klowee spent her last few months in the loving care of Diane and Shaun in Jacksonville. Due to increasing and debilitating neurological issues she was humanely euthanized by on of our BARC veterinarians. While this is never the outcome we hope for our rescued boxers, we must realize that sometimes, a few months of loving care is the only thing that can be provided for an abandoned dog with no other options. Klowee will be forever in the hearts of all of the BARC volunteers involved with her rescue and foster care. [More]

Toast

Toast is just a puppy, less than year old. She was found as a stray. Luckily a nice lady picked her up (she jumped in front of the car) and brought her to the shelter, who then turned her over to the BARC program for rehabilitation and placement. She weighs just 37 lbs and has such a tiny head and frame but is VERY strong and would love roughhousing in her new home. She's such a playful little girl and very much a cuddle bug too, very affectionate and loving. Toast has been spayed and has been treated for a case of mange. She has been adopted to a wonderful family in Jacksonville.

Emma

Calvin

Calvin is very calm and mellow, but can be playful too. He enjoys playing with squeaky toys and will chase them around the house. He is house-broken and knows "sit". He is fine with dogs and cats, but plays and keeps to himself. Has already become part of the pack and has also had a few opportunities to get mad and hasn't. He is interested in Hemi, the feline member of the household, but turned away when Hemi hissed at him. Hemi is calmer around him today and they sniffed each other (check out the picture)....I think he would chase him if he had the opportunity but has been calm around him so far. Working on crate-training, although has been fine when left alone in a room with a baby-gate. Also when he is in the kennel and doesn't see you or hear you, he is calm. He loves to be around his "special person" and will whine and cry a little. Loves to be on furniture and snuggle up next to you. He enjoys car rides and having his head out of the window. Also likes looking out of windows in the house. Good walker, pulls slightly but listens to corrections. Obedient.

Sawyer

Sawyer is a dashing one year old male who was abandoned at a local shelter after running at large. He is a good boy, already knows how to sit, and seems to do well with other dogs, though prefers larger dogs to smaller dogs. He does jump occasionally, but is otherwise good around children. Sawyer has a high energy level and would be the perfect jogging companion or fit in well with an active family. Like all of our dogs, Sawyer has been neutered, received his vaccines. He is heartworm negative and crate trained. Sawyer has been adopted!

Ollie

Ollie loves to play! He is a happy five year old Boxer who was formally adopted out from BARC but is being surrendered back three years later because his owners cannot find time for him. Ollie gets along well with other dogs, children and cats. He knows some basic obedience and walks very well on a leash. Like most Boxers, he enjoys car rides and will lay down comfortably on the seat as soon as he loads up. He is good in the crate as well, but can be left out during the day if preferred. [More]

Tebow

Tebow and his father, Hemi, came to BARC after being abandoned and left without food or water for three weeks. Needless to say, their former owner is being charged with animal cruelty. Click Here to see a news story about what investigators said was one of the worse cases of animal cruelty they had ever seen. Be warned, the video is not for the faint of heart.

These dogs came from Alabama, a state in which BARC usually doesn't operate, but animal control and law enforcement were determined to get them into a rescue program and we responded due to the urgency of the situation and the desire to work together with law enforcement to see a maximum sentence enforced.

Tebow is a beautiful, 2-3 year old flashy fawn Boxer who has an excellent temperament despite the extreme neglect he has suffered.Tebow has been adopted!

Houston is a 5 year old boxer boy who was found as a stray in southern Georgia. He was turned over to B.A.R.C. for medical treatment and placement. Houston has been treated for heartworms and will be neutered prior to adoption. He is currently being fostered by the Howd family in Lake City. Houston is a mellow boxer, gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, and appears to be crate trained.

Hemi

Hemi and his son, Tebow, came to BARC after being abandoned and left without food and water for three weeks. Poor Hemi was abandoned tied to a tree with a cable. The cable became wrapped around his leg and cut off his circulation. Needless to say, their former owner is being charged with animal cruelty. Investigators said it was one of the worse cases of animal cruelty they had ever seen. These dogs came from Alabama, a state in which BARC usually doesn't operate, but animal control and law enforcement were determined to get them into a rescue program and we responded due to the urgency of the situation and the desire to work together with law enforcement and animal control to see a maximum sentence enforced on the offender.

Hemi is estimated to be between 5-6 years old and has an excellent temperament despite the extreme neglect he has suffered. In addition to being severely emaciated, he had hookworms, heartworms, and anemia. But he's a gorgeous healthy boy now and ready for his forever home! Hemi's leg is completely healed though it will never have hair where the tie out cut his leg.

Hemi wants nothing more than to be in the company of his humans. He's so happy he gets to be inside now - warm and dry and with a full tummy twice a day! He's not too crazy about storms and he recognizes fire ants by their smell. Being tied out in all kinds of weather and unable to move far from pests of all kinds has taught him to be cautious outside and he gets nervous when he hears thunder.

He gets along well with his foster brother, but because he loves to play hard, he'd be best placed with a dog his own size rather than small dogs, and he should not be placed with cats.

Curtis

We have put Curtis up on happy stories because he had a foster home, Stephanie and Duane, who loved and cared about him when he passed away. Curtis' former owner unfortunately did not care about him enough to pay a minimal amount to keep him on monthly heartworm prevention. When he was in foster care we tried our best to save him but the heartworm disease was so advanced that we could not and he died after a few weeks in our program. Our hearts are broken and so was his. PLEASE don't ever let your dog go without heartworm prevention. RIP sweet beautiful Curtis. [More]

Maestro

This little 45 lb Boxer is just as cute as a button. He's your typical friendly, wiggly, funny clown that epitomizes why Boxers are sometimes referred to as the court jesters of the dog world! Maestro is a six year old male Boxer whose previous owner abandoned him at a vet clinic when he found out he had food allergies. We have found something that works to keep Maestro in great shape, but he must only eat a specific type of dog food. Because Maestro's previous owner did not keep him on heartworm prevention, he will also have to go through heartworm treatment prior to being adopted.

Maestro likes other dogs but we don't know about cats. He has some obedience training and is the perfect combination of Boxer spunk and knowing how to kick back! If you can commit to feeding Maestro his special diet, which is no extra trouble but costs a bit more, he may be the perfect boy for you.

Maestro went home with a second time BARC adoptive parent in Tallahassee! [More]

Magnum

Magnum is a 2 yr old male who was originally surrendered by his owner to a local shelter. He was adopted out, but returned due to separation anxiety issues. Sicne being in his current foster home, Magnum has not shown that to be an issue. We believe that a home with a doggy door and other dogs would be best for Magnum so that he can have free access to the home and yard to play when his owner is not available. He seems to spend his days with the other dogs quite happily. They always find where he's been playing during the day (he's more of a "toy hound" than the other Boxers in the home and there's usually a few toys along with whatever
he's stolen from the laundry basket, usually a sock or a wash cloth). He's very energetic, and would be perfect for someone who runs or
rollerblades and could give him lots of exercise. He is the picture of a healthy, happy
Boxer, loves other dogs, kids and people and is really fun to have around. He has a natural tail and has been neutered and treated for heartworms. Magnum is being fostered by Angie, Rodney and Dylan in St. Augustine.

Gracie

Gracie is a beautiful 1-2 year old female Boxer who was picked up as a stray by animal control and then turned over to BARC for rehabilitation and placement. She is new to our program and we will update her status as we get to know her better. She is being fostered by Jennifer and Rodney in Fort White, FL.

Rosco

Hi! My name is Rosco and I am so grateful a nice lady from BARC picked me up from the shelter. I am a seven year old brindle boxer weighing in at 77 pounds light. I had a seizure in 2003, but the vets fixed me up with some medication and haven’t had one since. I don't seem to need the meds anymore either, so life is good!

I am a very sweet boy and get along well with other dogs. I love to give kisses and cuddle up tight with my foster mom or foster brother. I prefer not to be crated.

Since I am so new to the program, check back for updates. I am staying in Jacksonville with Rebecca and Apollo.

Bernie

Bernie was seized as part of a cruelty case and turned over to rescue for placement. As luck would have it, Bernie was nursed back to health by and adopted by his foster parents. As you can see by his picture, he is a healthy and happy boy these days! [More]

Ruby

Ruby was surrendered to a shelter by her owner days before she gave birth to 5 mixed boxer puppies. The shelter turned the family over to us for placement. She is approximately 1-2 years old and is a very sweet girl.

Ruby is very quiet but starting to come out of her shell and do the boxer wiggle. She loves being in the house with you and will lay at your feet but prefers to get on the couch when you arent looking! She is housebroken. When Ruby is outside she will get bored and start digging for gold if not given the proper attention. She gets along great with children and when they sit on the ground she just loves to be up in their lap soaking in the attention.

Ruby gets along with
all of the dogs that she's met so far and seems to be on the submissive side.

Mom and pups will not be available for adoption until the beginning of May. Ruby is heartworm positive and will begin treatment once the pups are weaned.

Una

Una, a 4 year old female, was named after a character in a movie that her foster mother saw. In the movie, Una was a little fairy that buzzed around her favorite person constantly looking for approval, wanting always to please and do what is right. Just like the fairy in the movie Una buzzes around radiating love and joy always checking back to see what you want her to do next. She is dainty, sassy, and an absolute joy!

Una was surrendered to one of our local shelter partners by a woman who bought her from a flea market. One of Una’s front legs was unusable and tripped her at every attempt to play, but now that it has been removed, she loves to run and play.

Una is deaf and is learning some sign language; she knows "go to bed" (she is crate trained) she also knows "go outside" (she is housebroken), she will come to you when you open your arms wide and clap your hands. She also knows sit; and she also knows that when you cup your hand below her chin and scrunch up your face as you shake your finger at her that she is in big trouble.

Una gets along well with children, dogs, cats, and truly loves people. She also loves car rides. Una is a perfect little lady wherever you take her.

Bob

As we've gotten to know Bob, he's just a great dog. He loves everything and everyone. He seems to get along great with cats, kids, and other dogs. He walks well on the leash although he does pull just a little, but we're working on that. He also knows the basic commands all boxers should know: sit, down, and give kisses. He's also great in his crate, and rides well in the car. Bob should make a great dog for anyone who doesn't mind having a big goofy boy sitting on the couch with them.

Bob will undergo heartworm treatment and will be available for adoption in early June.

Tristan

Tristan along with his two brothers and mother, were surrendered to a shelter and turned over to BARC for placement. The puppies are the result of an accidental breeding between two Boxers. The dogs lived outside and were not properly cared for. Two of the puppies in the litter died of exposure to cold weather before they were brought to the shelter. They have natural tails which our adoption contract stipulates cannot be docked.

Update from foster home:
Tristan is a handsome 10 month old boy looking for the right folks to give his boxer kisses to! He loves to play and has a lot of energy like a typical Boxer puppy, but will also lay by your feet quietly and chew on a toy. He is house broken and will bark to let you know he needs to go outside and potty. He has learned some basic commands, but does require a strong pack leader for guidance. He is currently learning to walk on a leash properly. He is crate-trained and will need to go to a home that is willing to continue this habit.

He gets along great with other dogs and the cats he lives with, but like most dogs he should not be left unattended with the cats just-in-case he decides to play a little to rough with them. Tristan can be quite clumsy at times, so the older he gets the better he will be. He just wants to play and will get excited at times knocking a little one over by accident. There are two kids in his foster home though that he constantly plays with whenever possible. Tristan loves to play outside and will bark to let you know he is one happy Boxer. He just found his big boy bark and it is so funny. He has a natural tail that is ohhhhhhhhh soooooooo cute too! He is very loyal and will follow you around the house to see what you are doing. He has been with his current foster family since he was a couple of weeks old and is in search of his forever home to give him all their love, attention, and patience with his new change of surroundings once adopted. Tristan is being fostered by Megan and Josh in Tallahassee, FL.

Pretzel

Pretzel is aptly named because of the way that she can contort her body. Right now, Pretzel is gaining some much needed weight and is undergoing treatment for a skin infection resulting from prolonged demodectic mange and fungal infection that was not properly treated. She came to us from a shelter partner in southern Georgia after she was surrendered by her owner who didn't care for her. Pretzel is just 2 years old (born February 2007). She loves playing with the other dogs in her foster home (all 5 of them!) and is very gentle and submissive. She will be a wonderful addition to any family! She be treated for her skin conditions, spayed, and vaccinated prior to adoption. She is being fostered by Dana and Matt in Statesboro.

Update from foster home:
Pretzel has done so well in the past few months. She has a lot of her hair back, when the veterinarian even said it may never come back. You'll see she still has some dark patches of skin on her body, so she'll need to be on medicine (which we have, and will come with her when adopted, and is otherwise very cheap) for another month (probably until August). Her adoptive family should know that she may never regain hair on some parts of her body - but we think that makes her even more adorable especially since she loves having those areas pet. She is NOT contagious, and has no signs of mange mites any more. She just needs more time to heal from the severe state she was in.

She always looks so sad and serious (you can see in her photos) but is by far the sweetest foster I've had and I've been fostering for 4 years now. She gets along with any and all creatures on this earth - loves to play with all of the dogs (especially the boxers) and is a total cuddle bug. She is very very submissive, and would do well with a "dominant" resident dog. She never hoards toys or treats and likes to eat in her crate so that no one will bully her and take her food.
It always amazes me how dogs live for today, truly seen in Pretzel since she came from such abuse and neglect and is now a happy, gentle and loving dog. In addition, I've never seen a little nub of a tail move faster than hers!

Ion

Ion was slipped into a drop pen at one of our local shelter parter's locations after hours. She is a sweet, mid-age girl, about 5 yrs old. She is very friendly and sweet, rides well in the car, and appears to be healthy. We will be taking her into the vet to get her vaccines, heartworm test, and spay completed in the coming weeks. Ion does well in a crate. We are happy to announce that Ion is being adopted by her foster dad! [More]

Journey

Journey is the mother of the three young purebred puppies on our site. She is a beautiful Boxer with a classic smoosh face and we think she is about three years old. Her former owner did not treat her well and she is very thin and needs to go through heartworm treatment prior to adoption. Despite being ill cared for, she is a lady in every way. She walks well on a leash, is housebroken and crate trained and is friendly with other dogs. Journey is being fostered by Diana, Toby and Shadow in Tallahassee. She will not be available for adoption until further evaluation.

Journey is now in her forever home with a Boston Terrier brother and another Boxer adopted from BARC! [More]

Gertrude was born March 6th of this year and is one of Ruby's puppies. She is spayed and ready for adoption now!

Truman

This beautiful white Boxer was adopted from the BARC program in 2007, and has recently been returned when his owner developed a medical condition and could no longer care for him.
Truman is house broken and crate trained. He would do best in a home with a female dog or as an only dog. He is being fostered by DJ in Jacksonville.

Mae, Magnum, and Jimmy

Macy (aka Mae) and Reilly (aka Magnum) found their forever home in the spring of 2009. They join Ray, Amy, BARC alum Jimbo (aka Jimmy), and two feline friends, Annabelle & Ivy in Bainbridge, Georgia. There they have a large wooded lot where they can run, tug, retrieve, chase squirrels, and bask in the warmth of a sunny day. They are so funny. If you watch them from the corner of your eye you can catch them running full steam through the woods for no other reason than the fact that they can. It must be quite a sense of freedom after the rough lives so many of these BARC babies have had.
We had no idea when we adopted Jimbo two years ago that by the spring of '09 we'd have three BARC rescue dogs. Three dogs of any breed are a huge commitment. It should only be undertaken if you have the time it takes to show them equal devotion and the space where they can safely run and play. We're lucky. We have both of those requirements and we now have the most wonderful family of animals. They all accept and are comfortable with each other.

There are so many BARC volunteers we'd like to thank for helping us bring together a good family. Of course there are the foster parents - Jimbo's Courtney & Dan, Macy's Angela & Nick, and Reilly's Angela, Rodney, & Dylan. They all did a wonderful job preparing the animals for the transition into permanent homes. We would especially like to thank Courtney and Mandi for all the help they gave us. We lost our female, Hannah, in December of last year in a very violent way. As soon as we contacted them and mentioned that we wanted to adopt again they just worked so very hard to help us accomplish that goal. They understood what it meant to us to bring a new member into our family. No one could replace Hannah but just knowing that Courtney and Mandi were working with us got us through the stress of the holidays.

We know that if you are reading this you already know what a wonderful organization BARC is. By the time a BARC baby is ready to be adopted, the prospective parent has a good handle on the dog's health. It's an added bonus that they also are neutered, house broken, crate trained, and most importantly there is a good read on their temperament. It's just such a good recipe for success. We assure you that we will never have any other dog than a rescue dog. The entire Spanjers clan thanks all of you at BARC for the kindnesses you have shown us. Jimbo, Macy, and Reilly are great members of our family. By the way, if you want to get three wiggling, kidney bean boxers to sit still for a picture just put a dog treat between your teeth! [More]

Leah

Hi everyone! My name is Leah and I was brought to a shelter by my previous owner after having puppies and she no longer wanted to take care of me and keep me on my heartworm prevention. Because of this I will have to undergo heartworm treatment after I'm spayed, but then I'll be ready to find a family that will make me a part of their family!

I get along with my foster brother (who is a BIG puppy) and my foster sister in my new home and I just learned what a cat is and we made friends which was nice. I am 2 years old and am housebroken and very good in my crate. Stay tuned for updates on me as my foster family gets to know me better! Leah is being fostered by the Saunders family in Jacksonville.

April

Because she was rescued from a local shelter on April Fools’, April was named in honor of the day. From her energetic, keep-up-with-the kids attitude and the lack of grey in her typical Boxer black mask, you’d never guess her to be
approximately 7 years old. She’s clearly had several litters of puppies and has some scarring around her neck, possibly from being tied up, but she’s a happy, bouncy girl, often curling herself into the signature Boxer “kidney bean.”

Currently fostered in a home where she is one of four Boxers, she quickly figured out how to wiggle into our hearts with her affectionate behavior. She loves to snuggle up, sleep in bed, and play with her foster sisters and brother. April is a pretty fawn color with four white toes, and cropped ears and a docked tail. She will need some medical care before finding her forever home, including being spayed; she may also need surgery to remove a growth and to address a mass that has developed in one of her breasts. The good news: April is heartworm negative and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She is a sweet, smart girl who will make a great addition to a lucky home! April is being fostered by Rodney, Angie & Dylan in St. Augustine.

Update from foster home:
As she becomes more comfortable with her adoptive family, we're discovering that April is a very "vocal" Boxer. She "talks" to her people in a grumbly rumbly voice in response to attention and affection. It's very much like a conversation, except the people are talking and April is rumbling. She's very friendly, but definitely lets her family know when strangers come close to her yard. She's the pefect combination: a very friendly, happy "kidney bean" Boxer AND an alert, energetic girl who's always looking out for her people. As we work through her health issues we continue to be amazed at her energy and enthusiam!

Pasha

Pasha is small and compact. She is 50 lbs and we believe she is approximately 6 years old. Pasha was surrendered to a shelter in Pensacola by the owners along with her mate Nicholas also in our program now (unfortunately they had to be separated in order to save them).

She has a great spirit. She has the traditional velcro and kidney bean body bend characteristics of the boxer breed. She is docile and sweet. Sadly, she doesn't seem to know what "play" is, but she craves your attention and just to be by your side. She will lie down and you hardly know she is there at times. Such a sweet girl!

She is curious about the cat and it is not known yet how cat friendly she is!!She has a little gray on her muzzle, but so shall we all one day! I'm sure it only comes with the wisdom she surely has behind those lovely brown eyes. She deserves to be loved and cared for and has many years of love and devotion to give in return!

Update from foster home:
Pasha is one of the sweetest and most laid back dogs I have ever met. I have a very active German Shepard named Lexus that likes to play rough and is very hyper. Pasha just lays there and takes it. At first she didn't want anything to do with Lexus, sort of an introvert, but now she will run around the house and out in my back yard with her. She is soooo cute, when I come in from work she gets so excited and curls into a 'U' shape and wags her little nub tail! When both dogs calm down, she stays right beside me or under my feet if on the couch.

She is great around kids, and large groups of people. She also loves lazy days inside or walks outside, but she is most content just to be by your side! Oh, I forgot to mention that Pasha doesn't bark??? I think I've heard her once and I called her name, and she quit...definitely a quiet and submissive dog. Pasha is a great dog that needs a very loving home!

Colonel

Meet Colonel, our Mr. Mellow Fellow! He is about 7.5 years old and weighs 80 pounds. Colonel and Jenna (who has been adopted) were found as strays, which appears to be the result of being used for breeding then when no longer wanted just left to fend for themselves.

Colonel's teeth are worn down, but not his spirit! He is a super friendly guy and makes friends easily, but should not be placed in a home with cats. Colonel is now neutered and ready for a real home he can call his own. He does have a condition called hypothyroidism which is easily treated with a daily dose of medication. Will you be the lucky family that will share your home with him? Colonel is being fostered by Holli in Jacksonville, FL.

Roja

Roja is a beautiful female Boxer that was well cared for by her previous humans. However, after a baby was born and the family moved to an apartment, the owners decided they no longer wanted to keep her and she entered rescue.

Roja is a classic looking fawn Boxer with natural ears and a tail. She is around a year old and is on the small side weighing less than 40 pounds. She lived with a cat as a young puppy and currently is being housed with another dog without problem. She is friendly to people and very playful. She does need basic training, although she is house-broken and crate trained. She would love to have a forever family that understands the exercise needs of a young Boxer. Her former human would run with her regularly and she misses her marathons!

If Roja sounds like a good match for you and your family, fill out an application and let us know. She's ready to play!

Portia

Portia is about 3 years old and is energetic and playful. She gets along great with other dogs and is just very sweet. Portia probably would do best in a house without a cat as she tends to become fixated and restless when a cat is around.

Portia is crate trained and does not make a sound once in the crate. However, it may take a little coaxing to get her in there. She is very obedient in all aspects of everyday activity. She won't get on the furniture unless invited. She will not run away if you call her name. She shakes and sits and gives plenty of kisses. Sometimes she likes to stare at her reflection in mirrors and windows for several minutes at a time which can be very entertaining.

If you want a dog that will come in and be a part of the family from the first day then Portia is the dog for you. The best thing about Portia is that she will love you no matter what. Portia is currently being fostered by David and Kim in Atlantic Beach.

Click here to check out a video of Portia playing with her foster sibling.

Vegas

Vegas is estimated to be around 8 months old and is already a big boy! He was surrendered to BARC when his owners no longer wanted him. He was bought from a breeder at 8 weeks old and then kept outside on a chain until now. He is fitting nicely in his foster home and has a happy-go-lucky type personality. Vegas also known as the "drool monster" loves giving slobbery Boxer kisses!

He is adjusting well to his new crate snoring loudly while sleeping and loves playing with squeaky toys. Vegas is very energetic and does need some proper training since he is a puppy and likes to jump. We are currently working on getting him fully house-trained. He is very interested in the cat and wants to play with her, but she wants noting to do with him! Vegas has been vetted and neutered and is now ready for his forever home! If you feel up to the challenge of a sweetheart of a puppy (and have the patience, time, and energy) please fill out an online application. Vegas is being fostered by Laura and Daniel in Jacksonville.

Alex

Two years ago, we were very blessed when Courtney decided that we would a good home for Alex - her special boy, a white, shy Boxer boy. He had found his own way to a rescue foster home in Jacksonville -while looking for our house. He joined rowdy Beau and his bossy sister, the alpha Belle.

AJ fits right in - he has established his own self in the pecking order. Watching them all eat is a hoot! We set up the three bowls and they all rotate equally among them. When he got here, he ate his food dry, as Courtney had done, while the twins ate theirs wet. Once they found out his was not EXACTLY the way theirs was they stopped eating completely until we added warm water to his too, so then it was back to suctioning the pattern off the bottom off the bowls. Everyone seems to get their share... as we can tell by rib cage. The boys wrestle equally never knowing who is going to be on top. AJ is referred to as the "brother from another mother.”

We love him to bits and he smiles ALL the time! He also THINKS he is a terrific guard dog of course he is best watching falling leaves. He loves his Kong and his tennis ball stick in the shape of a jack. We sometimes call him "Tonya" because he runs up behind us and whacks us in the back of the leg with it - like Tonya Harding - to get us to throw it for him, so he can fetch. He also is a champion snuggler and has an endless supply of kisses! Beau has taught him how to sing and Belle has taught him how to pull Jen's hair. He is clearly very pleased with himself!

Gino

Gino is a 7 year old boy who gets along great with children, female dogs and small dogs. He weighs about 70 pounds. This sneaky guy will try to sleep on the bed with you if he can get away with it, but will settle for his dog bed on the floor if asked. He loves to be with people and is fairly laid back. If interested in adopting Gino, please complete an online adoption application. He is being fostered by Robert in Gainesville, FL.

Many Boxer hugs & kisses to Brett Trevett of Jacksonville, FL for sponsoring Gino and supporting the efforts of our rescue. With your generosity we are able to continue to help homeless Boxers in need. Thank you from all of us at B.A.R.C.! [More]

Melia

Melia was left in an overnight drop box at the local animal shelter. She appears to have had puppies and was just not wanted anymore. We can't imagine why because she is one of the sweetest, friendliest girls you could ever meet!!

She is very laid back and likes to be right where you are or as close as she can get. She immediately made friends with her new foster sister and even ran into the cat coming around a corner and didn't react at all , but is curious to investigate further. We will update this as we know more!

She is good in her crate and a lady when out of it in the house. She is about 5 years old, vetted and will be putting on much needed weight while she waits for her new family! Melia is being fostered by David and Kimbra along with her foster sister Sadie in Jacksonville, FL.

Scarlett

Scarlett is an adorable 3-4 year old girl and weighs about 60 pounds. She knows how to sit, shake, roll-over, and when you tell her to "go home" (and carry a treat!) she goes right into her crate. She is pretty quiet around the house too and just loves to be around her foster family and lay right next to them. Scarlett is a beautiful girl, and gets compliments everywhere she goes!

She would be best in a home with no cats, as they are so little that she likes to chase them and sometimes the cats don't appreciate it. She is great with other dogs, but sometimes enjoys watching them play instead of actually joining in. She is a wonderful dog, and whoever gets her will be very lucky. Scarlett is looking for a family to call her own! If you are interested in adopting Scarlett, please start by completing an online adoption application by clicking here.

Quincy

Hi everyone! I'm Quincy and I'm a happy-go-lucky girl. I 'm about 1.5 years old and I'm the perfect size! I'm not too big and in fact I look like I'm leaving my puppy stage, but I'll be this size for life. I'm quite well behaved and I know how to sit, shake, and if you tell me to "go home", I promptly head into my crate. I love to play fetch and going on walks are super fun! I like the leash and my foster home is teaching me the importance of "heeling".

I'm cordial with other dogs, but people are my true loves! I look like I'm constantly smiling. I also enjoy laying on the floors and observing my humans walk around. I don't show any signs of chewing, I'm pretty quiet (barkings not my thing), but I do have the cutest boxer wiggle. I'll be a wonderful addition to any home. I truly am a great combination of fun, relaxation, and love. Let me be your boxer pup! Quincy is being fostered by Victoria in St. Augustine, FL.

Porter

Porter is a 1 year old boy that came from a partner shelter after being found as a stray. By the pictures that were taken when he first came into rescue, you can tell this poor guy has had a rough start in life and was in pretty bad condition. He was found with his ears raw and bleeding and they had to be surgically repaired. He definitely needed to gain some much needed weight while in foster care too.

B.A.R.C. is currently rehabilitating Porter and hopes to find him his forever home soon. Donations are always greatly appreciated which allows us to help not only Porter, but other homeless Boxers in the same situation. Porter is being fostered by Lea in Milton, FL.

Updates from foster home:
Porter has had his stitches removed and is starting to look and feel better. His ears are really cute, as one flops over and the other one stands up! He gets along great with his foster sisters and loves playing with his toys especially the squeaky ones. Porter would either do well in a home with other dogs or being the only dog as long as he has his special squeaky toys. He still needs to gain some weight and is working on the art of becoming crate and house-trained. Porter is very smart and is picking up commands very well. He also walks good on the leash and likes to cuddle too.

Porter is doing great and is such a sweet little man! He likes to be with you and involved all the time whether you're working out or doing dishes. He loves to play ball in the yard and chew on Kong toys. Porter is an excellent jogging partner too! He went camping with his foster family and did great in the canoe. He is also really good on long car rides, as he sleeps most of the way. He is now housebroken, and working on his crate training as he gets anxious when his foster mom leaves the house. He is quite "springy" so a full size fence is neccessary for this love bug!

Ely

I am a gorgeous rambunctious 2 year old fawn male. But you can call me Ely. I am settling in at my new foster home well and get along great with the other dogs. I am heartworm negative and will be ready to go to a loving home shortly. If you want to make me part of your family fill out an application online today!

Lilly Mae

Originally a victim of horrific violence, Lilly Mae was a skin and bones pup who's throat was cut ear-to-ear and then she was tossed out by the road side. Once found, BARC was contacted and after a lengthy recovery Lilly Mae thought she had found her forever home, but through no fault of her own, she was returned to BARC.

Lilly Mae is now 4 years old and is the very best of both worlds! Outside she runs and plays fetch with all of the energy of a puppy. But inside she is relaxed and calm with the maturity of an adult dog. She knows sit, stay, come, off and down and she loves the word "walk!" If you are looking for a walking partner Lilly Mae is your girl.

She will stay off of the furniture until permission is given, then she loves to sit on the sofa with her head in your lap. She is crate trained but is not crated at her foster home, since she is perfectly trustworthy while home alone.
Lilly Mae is shy at first, but it does not take her long to trust and relax; then she won't leave your side and will give you the most tender sweet kisses ever.

Weighing in at 55 lbs., Lilly Mae is the picture of heath and is ready for a for-real-this-time forever home! If you would like more information on this pretty girl, please complete an adoption application today. She is being fostered by Cindy in DeFuniak Springs, FL.

Poor Lilly Mae! A good Samaritan found a little skin and bones Boxer mix puppy stumbling along a dirt road in Brunswick, GA. Shockingly, someone had slashed her throat from one side to the other. The Samaritan contacted a BARC volunteer, who rushed her to one of our veterinarians. The wound was very deep, but fortunately did not cut any major veins or arteries. The veterinarian feels that someone sliced this helpless little puppy with a box cutter and left her to die.

Lilly is currently healing and learning to trust people again. She has a road to recovery, but will make a great dog for a great family someday! She is a 3-4 month old brindle female, very mild and timid, but is learning to wag her tail and chase her human foster kids in the backyard despite all that she has been through. She gets along great with her foster sisters, one of which is a female Boxer, and the other a female Poodle.

Milkshake

Milkshake who goes by the nickname "Millie" is a very sweet girl. She is about two years old and has very good manners and listens well. She knows the "sit" command and likes Nylabones when she can get her paws on one. She also goes in her crate willingly. Millie is an alpha female who may be slow to integrate with new dogs. Once integrated, she is happy to have canine buddies. She should not be placed with cats. She has now completed heartworm treatment. If you meet Miss Millie you will fall in love. She is being fostered by Lisa in Tallahassee, FL.

Noodle

Noodle is a 3 year old classic fawn female that came to us from a shelter after she was not re-claimed by her previous owners. She walks well on a leash and rides good in the car too. Noodle is house and crate trained. She loves other dogs AND cats! She has been fully vetted and has completed heartworm treatment as well and is ready for adoption now. Please complete an online application if you are interested in adopting Noodle. She is being fostered by Shanna.

Gingersnap

Just like the cookie for which she’s named, Gingersnap is sweet and wonderful, with a lively touch of surprise. Turned over to us from animal control, she has a shy demeanor but is able to speak up in a group of dogs. A delicate, petite Boxer, Gingersnap has a perfect black Boxer “mask” and a few elegant white markings on her fawn coat.

She is housebroken, knows a few commands and has excellent manners. She needs to add a few pounds to her small frame, being one of the small, fine-boned Boxers we sometimes see, but she is perfectly proportioned and elegant in appearance. She is sweet-natured and eager to please – she’s just looking for a family to love her for her big-eyed Boxer face and her open, trusting personality. Are you the right “forever” family? Gingersnap has completed heartworm treatement and is waiting patiently for you! Please complete an online adoption application if you are interested. She is being fostered by Angie and Rodney in St. Augustine, FL.

Walter

Walter is a 7-8 year old boy. He was dumped at the local shelter and B.A.R.C. came to his rescue. Despite his rough life, he is a sweet boy that just wants to please. Due to the neglect he faced by his previous owner, poor Walter is just all skin and bones right now. He will need to put on some weight and be fully vetted prior to adoption. If you are interested in making this fellow part of your family please complete an online adoption application. Walter is being fostered by Greg and Leticia in Jacksonville, FL.

Biscuit

Biscuit was rescued by B.A.R.C. after Animal Control responded to a call from a neighbor informing them that he was tied to a tree, malnourished and abandoned by his owners. The neighbor reported that Biscuit lived his life outside, tied up along with his smaller companion, a Dachshund mix. He was sent to a kennel, because the local shelter was quarantined, and shortly thereafter rescued by B.A.R.C. volunteers.

Though little is known about Biscuit’s past, it is believed that he is about 2-3 years old. He is a beautiful caramel-colored fawn male who, surprisingly, came into the program heartworm negative and with no intestinal parasites. He has been neutered and fully vetted. Biscuit is housebroken and crate-trained, though he needs a little coaxing with a treat to get him in his crate. His foster parents are working on obedience and leash training, but he does well using a Gentle Leader.

Despite his past, Biscuit has an amazingly happy spirit. As soon as he was introduced to his foster parents’ backyard, it was almost as if he felt a sense of relief, joy and freedom to be the goofy, playful, spirited dog that he is. Biscuit has lots of energy and would definitely benefit from a family who’s committed to walking, playing, and exercising him and he’s a great dog to run with! After his walk, Biscuit really likes to take a stroll on his handy dandy treadmill too. Yes, a treadmill!

He plays well with his foster brother and sister (two Boxers) and would enjoy living with another playful doggie (big or small) that he can play tug-of-war with. In addition, Biscuit loves being around his human companions and will follow you around the house. He’s a loving dog who will sometimes try to sneak on the couch (one body part at a time that is) to be closer to you.

If you are interested in adopting goofy little Biscuit, please fill out an online adoption form. He is being fostered by Joanne in Tallahassee, FL.

Popcorn

Popcorn is a 1-2 year old female that is very friendly and loves to play. She gets along well with everyone, even small dogs. At the moment, Miss Popcorn is learning how to walk like a young lady on a leash. She is also working on crate and house training.

Popcorn has been to the vet and is now ready for adoption. Just look at that precious face! If you are interested in spoiling Popcorn with a lifetime of happiness that she deserves, please complete an online application.

Jellybean

Jellybean is a sweet 2 year old flashy brindle female weighing about 67 pounds. She is a very affectionate girl, full of energy and Boxer enthusiasm! She rides well in the car and seems to be crate-trained.

Due to Jellybean's previous owners not giving her a monthly heartworm preventative, such as Heartgard, she must now go through heartworm treatments. Once complete she will be available for adoption to her forever home. Jellybean is being fostered by Victoria in St. Augustine, FL.

Beauty

Beauty is a 2-3 year old female that loves her foster family. She lives with two humans and a younger male Boxer and an 8 year old male Beagle- Jack Russell mix. Beauty is not a hyper dog and loves to snuggle with her humans as much as possible. She loves humans more than dogs but gets along fine with her foster brothers, but should not be placed in a home with another female.

She is very humble and easily trained. She crates well and knows to sit for her food and will not rush the door when the bell rings. She has even had her own personal training session with Stacy Moore the famous Muttman. She has completed heartworm treatments and will be relaxing with her foster family while recovering. If you are interested in adopting Beauty please complete an online application. She is being fostered by Mark and Elaine in Jacksonville, FL.

Punkin

Salty

Salty is 2-3 years old and weighs about 70 pounds. He gets along great with other dogs and is good with children. He will be starting heartworm treatments shortly. If you are interested in adopting Salty please complete an online application. He is being fostered by Mark and his family in Jacksonville, FL.

Pillsbury

Pillsbury is a 1.5 year old precious Boxer pup. She is all white with a few brown spots on her ears. Her coat is silky smooth and she loves to sit on your lap. Pillsbury has 2 levels of energy, sleeping and on the go! She loves running around the yard, playing with toys and boxing with her foster brother. She would probably do best in home with another dog as she gets along well with other dogs and loves people. She hasn't had any exposure to cats yet, so we are unsure how she would do around them.

Pillsbury takes lots of cues from her foster brother as she works on learning signs from us. Yes, signs! Pillsbury is deaf, but that doesn't slow her down any. After just three days in her foster family she has learned how to ring the bell on the door to let her foster parents know she wants to go outside. Pillsbury is house trained during the day, but still needs to go out in the middle of the night. Don't worry though, she'll come to the bed and give you a cold puppy nose to let you know she needs to go out! If you have to leave for work, no problem! Just give Pillsbury a treat and into her crate she goes. She'll wait patiently while you go to work for you to come home and PLAY! If you're looking for a sweet cuddly companion then she is the girl for you! Pillsbury is being fostered by Bethany and Aaron in St. Augustine, FL.

Rylee

Rylee is a petite and energetic 2-3 year old pretty girl. She weighs about 45 pounds and has a natural tail. Found as a stray, she was turned over to the local shelter. When her owners did not come to re-claim her, B.A.R.C. took Rylee into the rescue program.

She is crate and house trained. Rylee enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play, play, play! She is a quick learner and already knows a few basic commands. Rylee has completed heartworm treatment and is ready for adoption now. Please fill out an online applicaiton if you are interested in adopting Rylee. She is being fostered by Julie in Jacksonville, FL.

Caramel

Caramel is an absolutely sweet and affectionate young lady! She is around 1-2 years and definitely has the spirit of a youngster, too. She came in a bit overweight around 60 pounds, but has slimmed down a bit since then. She can still afford to lose a few more pounds, and if she continues to enjoy long walks and running around the yard and playing with her foster siblings and her toys she'll be fine! She also has floppy natural ears and a beautiful, long natural tail. We really don't know much about her past, though it is believe she lived a hard life outside prior to her coming into the shelter. She came into rescue heartworm positive and has scars around her neck from being tied outside. Such a sad life for such a sweet and affectionate lady!

She is currently living with three other females and two males (one of which is a small dog). She plays well with all of them and even snuggles on the couch with them whenever she can. She also makes a great snuggler with her human foster parents when it is time to be a couch potato, even trying to get up in the bed come bedtime if you'll let her. Oh is she a bed hog!

Caramel has met kids on numerous occasions and is actually quite gentle with them, not jumping on them, but sitting to allow them to pet her. She is currently working on her manners (not jumping on adults or counter surfing), crate training, leash training, and house training. She is almost an expert at all of them now! She is such a fast learner, and very treat motivated! She even knows "in" when it is time to leave so she'll go into her crate where she happily plays with her Kong toy. She is being fostered by Nina in Lake City, FL. If you are interested in adopting Caramel, please start by completing an online application.

Update from foster home:
We have had Caramel for almost four weeks now. In that time, I have observed that she will make some lucky family a WONDERFUL pet! She is always ready to give love and play. For her size and strength, she is amazingly careful and gentle with our smaller dogs, who are in no way gentle or careful with her! She is SO exuberant and playful, I believe she would need to be supervised with small children, to prevent knock-downs. Caramel is now housebroken, crate-trained, knows "sit" and "lay down." We are working on "off," "stay" and "settle." A basic obedience class would do her a world of good! If Caramel wasn't already named, we would have named her "Joy" because that is what she radiates. She deserves the very best!

Ace

Looks are deceiving when it comes to this young fellow! Ace is an adorable and petite 1-3 year old male that is in search of his forever home. His partially cropped ears and exotic eyes make him look tough, but he's just as sweet as sweet can be! He is your typical Boxer, always aiming to please and is learning basic commands at this time.

Ace is currently being fostered in a home which includes two large dogs, a male and female, along with an older cat. Ace loves to play with toys and is perfecting his house training manners. He does not like being in a crate, but does well confined to his own room when his foster mom goes to work. He is now neutered and has started heartworm treatment. Please fill out an online application if you are interested in adopting Ace!

Nessie

Nessie is a 1-2 year old flashy female. She weighs about 40 pounds, but really needs to put on some more weight. She is currently being treated for demodectic mange, so within a few months she should have most of her beautiful fur coat back just in time for the cold Florida weather! Demodex is not contagious and is easily treated.

She is currently being fostered in a home with a cat, which she seems to ignore. Nessie is now a happy and bouncy pup! She loves playing with her canine foster sisters and drinking water. She has been spayed and is looking for her happily ever after. Please complete an online adoption application if you are interested in making Nessie part of your family. She is being fostered by Laura and Daniel in Jacksonville, FL.

Bandit

Meet Bandit! He is 5-6 years old and a big boy around 90 pounds. Surrendered by an owner who couldn't care for him any longer, Bandit a.k.a. "Donnie" is your typical happy Boxer. He is a handsome fawn color with plenty of flashy white and beautiful freckles on his skin.

Bandit is very overweight as a result of being the "clean up crew," so he would be happiest with someone to take him on regular walks and make sure he keeps to his doggy diet. However, there is not one pound of him not filled with love! His foster family includes three other Boxers (two females, and one male) and he gets along great with them. He is being fostered by Angie, Rodney & Dylan in St. Augustine, FL.

Buster

Buster is a very spunky 2-3 year old. Unfortunately, for this poor guy he was left behind with no food or water after his owners moved away. Buster was found by a Good Samaritan, who took him in and nursed Buster back to health. He had suffered a leg injury which was treated and was very underweight at the time.

Months later, you would never know this sweet boy had ever been mistreated! Buster has been very forgiving and we are very grateful for that. He loves to play and fetch his bone. When his foster dad is at work, Buster has access to a dog door to do his "business" outside where it belongs. He is very stalky and strong at 67 pounds, but don't let that fool you though. This pup can run like the wind! In his spare time, he likes to sit on your lap and give you Boxer kisses. Buster will be starting his heartworm treatments after the New Year and is available for our foster-to-adopt program. If you are interested in making Buster part of your family please complete an online adoption application. He is being fostered by Bob in Jacksonville, FL.

Marlin

Marlin is a playful and energetic 1.5 year old handsome boy. He weighs 70 pounds and is spring loaded! He would greatly benefit from a training class, as he is so big and strong that even he doesn't know his own strength. Marlin is just a big ol' clumsy and goofy teddy bear though!

He loves to play and then play some more with his canine foster sisters! Marlin is crate and house trained and is available for adoption now. He knows sit, shake, and talks when he feels the urge to whine about something. He should not be placed in a home with cats or small animals. This boy would be happiest with a submissive canine sibling or older children to play with. Marlin really enjoys snuggling time on the couch and has a talent to snore louder then most dogs. He can jump about 6 feet in the air too, so he needs a tall and secure privacy fence and/or a very active family willing to exercise him daily. If Marlin sounds like a match for you, please complete an online application today! He is being fostered by Laura and Daniel in Jacksonville, FL.

Olive

Olive is one of the sweetest Boxers we've ever had the pleasure of knowing! With her beautiful dark brindle coat and white stockings, she's also a very pretty girl. Her ears and tail are clipped in classic Boxer style and she has a classic Boxer personality, wiggly and happy to be with her people. Olive is a calm, confident girl, who fit very easily into her foster home and gets along with people of all ages as well as other dogs. She seems able to get along with cats too.

Since Olive's been around (she is about 9 years old) she knows lots of great things, including sleeping in a crate, being housebroken, able to use a dog door, and walking well on a leash. She's a great example of what Cesar Millan might call a "well-balanced" dog, with a perfect blend of playful affection and tranquility.

If you'd like to start the New Year with a loving, well-trained companion who will give you the very best years she has, this is the girl for you. Get your application filled out fast - this sweetheart will win her way into a new home quickly!

Update from foster home:
Olive is a total sweetheart! She's an extremely well-mannered and mature girl. She never jumps on people, still hasn't barked, doesn't beg for food, doesn't try to get on the couch or bed - she's making all of our resident dogs look very bad! She's exactly what every Boxer should aspire to be in their golden years! She still wiggles and has fun, but mainly likes to cuddle on her bed (either alone or with another dog) or to be by your side for some hugs and pets. And we love petting her since she has by far the softest and fluffiest fur I've ever felt on a Boxer. And she's got a fat and fast-wiggling tail too. It's very funny to see!

We can tell you first hand that senior Boxers are simply the best! Not that we don't love puppies and young boxers, it's just that senior dogs manage to still have all the Boxer quirky-ness in a calmer, sweeter package. It's wonderful!

Olive has been checked out by the vet and is healthy and ready for adoption. She is fully house trained and has ZERO bad habits. She would be a great "starter" Boxer - especially if you love the breed but aren't ready for a high-energy, younger dog. She would do well in a home either alone or with other pets. She seems to be relaxed around all ages and types of animals. She's still got years of love to give, and, believe me, that's all she really would love to do - find a permanent home soon, and never have to be moved around again. Do you have room on your floor for Olive and her bed? Please complete an online application if you are interested in adopting Olive. She is being fostered by Dana.

Razzle

Razzle is a 1-2 year old brindle sweetheart. She is friendly and loves to play. She is a happy girl, but just needs to put on a few pounds. She is being fostered in a home with a male Boxer and a Beagle/Jack Russell mix. If you are interested in adopting Razzle please start by submitting an online application. She will be spayed and ready for adoption very soon, so don't wait! She is being fostered by Mark and Elaine in Jacksonville, FL.

Clementine

Hi! My name is Clementine and I'm a sweet 1-2 year old girly girl. I love lots of affection, and am a gentle lil darlin' who wants to spend as much time with you as I can. I am still getting used to the cushy life and love to play around. I think other dogs are lots of fun and even enjoy smaller animals like the cats I live with. I share everything and am housebroken and crate trained.I am a velcro dog and looking for someone to love! Please fill out an application online today. Clementine is being fostered by Robin in Jacksonville

Caleigh

Caleigh (pronounced “Callie”) is gentle and eager to please and greets guests happily when they arrive. She loves people and is really looking for a family of her own. She would love to be the focus and the heart of your family. Whether you have a house full of kids needing a playmate or you need a running, biking or skateboarding buddy then Caleigh is your girl. She is full of affection and fun and is ready to make your home a merrier place. Please complete an online application if you are interested in adopting Caleigh.

Kobe (Finn)

Kobe is a beautiful dark brindle male boxer who is around 1.5 years old. He was previously adopted from B.A.R.C., but has recently been returned due to reports of jumping on people. We are perplexed by this since in his new foster home he has never jumped on anyone including his foster parents and visitors. He shows no bad habits at all, except if you consider doing the "boxer lean" to try to get pets a bad habit!He is very attentive to his humans and has great manners. He is crate and house trained, knows some basic commands, waits patiently to go outside or come back in until you tell him "ok" and has a calm and sweet demeanor. He is not food or toy possessive, and his foster parents or any of the dogs can simply take his things - as a result we feed him in his crate and he enjoys that.

One of his best qualities, besides being such a gorgeous example of the breed, is that he loves any and all dogs. He gets along famously with our four dogs (males and females of all ages and sizes) and really loves his fellow foster brother Curly (also listed with B.A.R.C. which you can see in the below video) who is also around 2 years old. He loves playing, but doesn't play too rough (just typical boxer style). He will stop playing and calm down if you ask him to. He certainly aims to please his people!

Even though we believe Kobe would be good in any home, because of his reported history with jumping on people, we wouldn't recommend Kobe to go to a home with small children. Also, we feel he would do best in a home with another dog since he really does enjoy playing and having a companion. An active adoptive family would be a plus, and Kobe is perfectly behaved on the leash and would be a great walking or jogging partner. If you are interested in Kobe please fill out an online adoption application. He is being fostered by Dana.

Maggie

Introducing Miss Maggie! We don't know much about her history or health yet, but we do know she is young at about 2-3 years old. She is great with kids and loves to be in a family. Maggie really wants her new home to have a fenced yard to run and play. She is potty-trained and likes her kennel. She LOVES her bed and her toys too!

She has the most adorable monkey face and she is not trying to show her teeth on purpose, she just has a bit of an underbite. She is petite at about 45 pounds. Maggie is learning how to sit, stay, and walk sweetly on a leash. If you are interested in adopting Maggie please complete an online adoption application. She is being fostered by the Franks family.

Rocco

Rocco recently joined the Perron family in Jacksonville who previously adopted his brother, Duke, over 3 years ago when these Boxer-Great Dane mixes were still puppies. They are now one big happy family! [More]

Goober

Hey there, Goobs here! Don’t worry, Goober is not my real name but it fits sometimes when I get to playing. I am a large, tall, goofy, fun, lovable 3.5 year old male that weighs 70-75 pounds. I’m a big boy but I am a gentleman.

I live with a female Boxer and two Chihuahuas. I have been getting along with my Boxer foster sister and really enjoy playing with her. I just pretty much ignore those little dog’s, they’re no fun because I can’t play with them. My previous owners had plenty of cats that lived outside with me so I am use to being around cats and just ignore them also. I do get kind of excited when people come over to visit but I don’t jump on them.

I have learned my boundaries and know to just eat and drink in my own area and have found my place in the pack. I am willing to go into my crate when you need to leave me alone for a while, just as long as I have my Kong filled with peanut butter to keep me occupied. I don’t have any bad habits and love going out and playing so I would do best in a home that can keep me active and I would love to have a playmate (human or dog) that would play with me a lot. I also need a fenced in yard so I can run around and I love going for walks and car rides. I would probably do well in a home with older children. You just have to understand that when I get to playing with another dog or with my toys I can get a little carried away and not pay attention, so I could knock young children down. I can also jump about 3-4 feet in the air from a standing position. Oh and I almost forgot to mention this, and don’t laugh, every once in a while I try to chase that little nub they call a tail, but I never seem to catch it.

My foster parents can’t believe that I won’t get onto the couches or beds unless I am invited up and had to go out and buy me my own bed to sleep on (which everyone else wants to sleep on it now) so you will have to be willing to buy me my own bed too. I can follow commands such as sit, come here, down and stay, pretty well. I do okay on the leash and only pull for the first couple of minutes when I go for walks. I follow my foster dad everywhere when he’s home, and I do mean everywhere, so he thinks I’m a man’s dog but I do listen to my foster mother when I have too. I am house broken and sleep out of my crate during the night.

So if you want to know my real name and want to get to know me more, I’ll ask my foster family to consider you for my adoption after you have filled out an application and are approved. I am being fostered by Eric and Kim in Gainesville, FL area.

Zsa Zsa

Zsa Zsa is a sweet 6-7 year old girl. She currently lives with a male and female Boxer and a cat. She is good with children. Zsa Zsa is house-broken, crate-trained, and also walks well on a leash. She is very friendly and although she has spurts of excitement as all Boxers do, she is calmer than many boxers and loves to just sleep (and snore!) at your feet.

She is a little heavier than most, at 85 pounds currently, but her foster parents plan to exercise her daily and watch her diet so that she may shed a few unwanted pounds. Zsa Zsa is an absolute sweetheart, easy-going, and really just wants to have a family to love her. She also has the most prettiest, loving, big brown eyes that really show her personality. If you are interested in adopting Zsa Zsa please complete an online application. She is being fostered by Whit and Hayley.

Milton

Milton is an energetic 6-9 month old puppy whose family dumped him off at a North Florida shelter because they just had a baby and he "needed too much attention." You can't help, but pay this little guy the attention he deserves. After all, he is wiggly-butt Boxer pup that loves to go on walks and gets along great with other dogs. From his age, we know that Milton has not been a house dog, so he is working on potty-training.

He doesn't have much obedience training, so he will need a family with patience and the desire to train. He will be a very active guy for the next few years as he grows out of puppy-hood, but will make an excellent and loving companion right off the bat! Milton has been neutered and is up to date on all his vaccines. If you are interested in adopting Milton, please complete an online application. He is being fostered by the Franks family.

Jezebel

Meet Jezebel! She is about 5 years old and is good with kids and other dogs. She loves car rides and thinks she is a lap dog, will be in your lap in no time if your not watching! She appears to have been heavily bred before being left at the shelter. She was also not given her heartworm pill monthly, but B.A.R.C. will be treating her for that soon. Stay tuned for updates as we get to know her better, but so far she is a delightful girl! She is being fostered by Derek in Jacksonville.

Cricket

This is Cricket, she was left in an overnight drop pen at a shelter and is now safe in her B.A.R.C. foster home. She is between 1-2 years old and weighs about 45 pounds, but needs to put on a few extra pounds to be at a healthy weight.

Cricket has a sweet disposition and is a quick learner! She will available for adoption late December or earlier January. If you are interested in making her part of your family please complete an online adoption application. Cricket is being fostered by Alicia in Pace, FL.

Suki

Suki is a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to lie on her new bed and snooze the day away. It appears as though she has spent her life confined in a small space and she is very timid of the whole new world that has opened up for her. She is very submissive to the pack in her foster home (two female Boxers and a male Boston Terrier) and does not venture far from her bed.

She is learning the joys of being outside, lying in the sun and mingling with the other dogs. Suki doesn’t know what toys are for, but has quickly learned that her foster mom is there to give affection! Suki has some weight to put on, but will probably be less than 60 pounds when she fills out. She has a lot to learn and would love a forever home with someone who has endless patience and will give her the pampering that she deserves. Once she is spayed and goes through heartworm treatment, she will be ready for adoption. She is being fostered by Diana in Tallahassee, FL.

Foster home update:
Suki has blossomed into your typical Boxer. She follows her foster mom everywhere and is now crate trained and housebroken. She has been spayed and will soon begin heartworm treatment. Suki has shown a fondness for children and loves interacting with the other Boxers in the house. Although she is a young dog (2-3 years old), she has a calm energy and is very inquisitive about what is going on around her. She walks extremely well on a leash – no pulling at all! Suki is just figuring out what toys are for and can occasionally be seen carrying one around or throwing it in the air and pouncing on it. She would do best in a home with another dog and would love a forever home with children. If she sounds like the perfect Boxer for you, please fill out an application today!

Suki has been sponsored in honor of Shari Turner for Mother's Day. Boxer hugs and kisses to you on this special day! [More]

Gunter

Gunter is a wonderful boy; he is very sweet and a pretty laid back guy. He is no problem in his foster home at all - he just wants a little attention and will follow you everywhere.

Arabella

Hi! My name is Arabella and my foster mom thinks I’m about 3 or 4 years old. I was found running the streets by a nice lady and taken to a shelter outside of Savannah. When I made it to my foster mom’s house I took no time adjusting to life. I am already housebroken and crate trained during the day when my foster parents are at work. When they get home I’m ready and eager to please and love to give kisses and be right by their side. Haven’t meet a person or other dog I haven’t liked, I’m not that fond of cats though. I especially love kids and want to be their partner in crime.

I am very laid back and my main priority is being right by your side. I do occasionally like to chase and fetch my rope toy, but mainly I want to cuddle up next to you and give kisses. I am a very sweet, loving, and smart girl who just wants to find her forever home. I will be getting all my shots and spayed very soon and then I will be ready to be all yours. I am being fostered by Casie in Jacksonville, FL. [More]

Dexter is an extremely friendly 2 year old boy and we have no idea how he could have ever ended up in a night drop box at a local shelter. Thankfully, the nice people there saw how friendly and sweet he is and called B.A.R.C. for
help. Dexter really is just a happy-go-lucky boxer. He does have thetypical boxer energy and really enjoys playing. He loves playing with his
foster brother, Buster, or any member of the family. He is not picky. However, he is still learning how to not be too "energetic" with our 3
year old daughter. The good thing is that Dexter just wants to be happy and wants everyone to be happy, so he does try to listen...but giving her
kisses is sometimes just too tempting! So, he would need to be watched with smaller kids, as he is still trying to learn how show his affection
without overwhelming them.

Overall he has good manners, and we are working on housebreaking, crate-training and walking on a leash issues. He is currently scheduled to
start heartworm treatment on 11/30, which will bum him out because he will have only 2 good weeks that he can play with his foster brother in
the yard before he has to keep quiet again. We will give more updates as we get to know Dexter the next couple of weeks! He is being fostered by Joanne in Tallahassee, FL.

Andy

Andy was found roaming a neighborhood and was taken in by a caring family who tried to find his owners. Andy is about 5-6 years old and gets along well with other dogs, even smaller ones.
Andy is a very friendly guy who listens well and is a very mature, calm, and loyal companion looking for a family to call his own again. Andy is well-mannered and does not jump on people either.

He will need to go thru heartworm treatments, but is available for our foster-to-adopt program at this time. Andy is house-trained and doesn't get into trouble if left alone in the house. If you think you'd like to give Andy the home he is looking for please fill out an application today! He is being fostered by Robyn and Don.

Boxer kisses to Amy and Ray of Bainbridge, Georgia for sponsoring Andy! [More]

Zoe

Zoe is estimated to be about 4-5 years old. She will be completely vetted prior to adoption. Please check back as we learn more about this precious addition to the B.A.R.C. program. She is being fostered by Monica in Jacksonville, FL.

Mugsy

One look at this handsome boy’s face and you understand how he got his name! Mugsy is a playful 14 month old brindle boy who sports his full tail! He was surrendered to the animal shelter by his owners who could not take him when they moved. Since he is fairly young and subsequently spent some of his formative months in temporary housing, he needs some work on his manners, but this guy is smart and willing to please. He’ll do just about anything for a treat! He’s already eagerly working on these manners in foster care and looking forward to getting his forever family.

Mugsy is very curious about the world around him, loves to play, chase lizards/squirrels in the backyard, go on car rides, long walks/runs and experience new things. He’s all about play, play, play. Mugsy loves people and dogs equally, but not sure how he’ll do around cats. He’s a follower that will always accompany his owners wherever they are in the home…makes a good assistant on home projects! He’s crate trained but will do best when not left in there for extended periods of time. He is trustworthy when left out of the crate as well.

As with any young boxer/large breed dog, Mugsy is high energy and would do best in a home that can meet his exercise needs and playful lifestyle. He absolutely loves playing with other big dogs, especially if there’s one already in the home. With just a little patience and work, this good-natured, smart, loving and lovable boy will be a great addition to an active home and family.

Emmett

Emmett is a 2 year old energetic and playful Boxer boy. He just loves other dogs and actually seems to prefer them to people sometimes - he will box with his Boxer siblings for hours until they are all tuckered out! At least everyone's getting good exercise! You may notice that Emmett was born with a defect in his jaw that makes it a little crooked so his tongue hangs out the side and that he has a snaggle tooth. We find it an adorable and endearing quality to this boy who is already just so cute, and know it's hard to take Emmett seriously when he stares at us with that side-tongue hanging out! Emmett has a unique and quirky personality too - he brings lots of laughter and joy to our household everyday with his funny expressions and silly personality. It's sometimes like he's always looking to us for approval and answers - we wish we could speak his language and tell him what a good boy he is!

While Emmett does love other dogs and is doing great in his foster home (he obeys all our commands and is a very sweet boy) he is, at this time, wary of strangers, especially small children. We are working on socializing him to move past these fears, and he has already shown great improvement. Since Emmett is high energy and likes to play rough (which his foster siblings love, but people sometimes don't) we recommend that Emmett not go to a home with children. Also, since Emmett is such a young boy looking for good guidance and leadership in life, we hope he can be adopted by a family or person that has experience with Boxers - really one that will "show him the rules" and not spoil him (just yet). Emmett is a total follower who responds very well to rules and commands, and is a calm gentleman on the leash. So, anyone interested in a Boxer that wants to just do whatever you say would really be a great fit for Emmett's forever home. Are you ready to bring this sweet boy and his side-tongue into your life? If so, fill out an application today! Emmett is being fostered by Dana and Matt.

Honey

Honey's owners moved and just left her behind which is a far to common situation these days. She was trying to make it on her own until a neighbor took her in and kept her safe until B.A.R.C. could bring her into the program. She has been putting on much needed weight and her hair is growing back in beautifully. Honey is safely in her B.A.R.C. foster home now and is getting along fine with her foster Boxer-mix brother and loves to give kisses to her foster Boxer sister!

She is estimated to be about 5-6 years old and is a very calm, sweet girl who loves children and is hoping to find a new home soon. She loves to go for a walk and is a pleasure to walk too! She had no one to give her her monthly heartworm pill, so she will need to go through heartworm treatment. If you are the family she is waiting for please fill out an application for Honey today! Honey is being fostered by Mark in Jacksonville, FL.

Mr. Wiggles

What a sad, but true story. Mr. Wiggles was surrendered to the shelter after his family found out he had heartworms which was very easily preventable with a monthly medication such as Heartgard. Despite having heartworms, he was very malnourished and has a long road to recovery. He is being fostered by Phyllis in Jacksonville, FL.

Pongo

Pongo is a 6 month old puppy that was surrendered to the shelter by a backyard breeder when he could not sell the "pick of the litter" and did not want to spend money on his much needed medical care.

He was injured by something wrapped around his leg and lost all, but two toes on one foot. Poor Pongo has a severe infection and has developed demodex due to stress too. He has a very sweet temperament despite his rough start in life. He is being fostered by Shirley and Bob in Jacksonville.

Foster home update:
Pongo has come along way in a short time! His coat is now a beautiful golden fawn with snow white markings! He even has a few hairs growing on his injured foot, but likely will not completely grow back. He can run and play with his foster brothers and sister and usually tires THEM out. He is your typical active, energetic boxer puppy and is learning from his older foster brothers and sisters that it is not OK to jump on top of them whenever the mood strikes! He will eventually get each to play with him until they tire and he moves on to the next! He loves toys and has learned to enjoy an occasional swim in the pool or and will even enter on his own just far enough to sit down and cool off. He will still steal a random shoe and run out into the yard and drop it so you have to go hunting down random shoes, he hasn't chewed up any, just thinks they should be yard decor!

He does think he should be able to wander over at feeding time and poke his face into everyone else's bowl to see if they have something better, so he needs to be watched carefully while eating to see he stays at his own bowl. He walks like a dream on the leash and tends to stay pretty much beside you when walking, so far. Only when he walks slowly do you notice an off gait to his walking, he is a lucky boy he didn't lose his foot or whole leg from his previous injury. His body has seemed to compensate for the 2 missing toes very well, but he might not be the best candidate for marathon running, but he sure will race around the yard when the "zoomies" hit and really enjoys a doggy friend to play with that isn't extremely hyper, which tends to frighten him a little. He would do well with an older, but still playful companion, male or female. He has been neutered and fully vetted and ready to start his new and better life with his forever family! If Pongo would fit your family please fill out an application today. See his new video too!

Tinkerbell

Hi everyone! My name is Tinkerbell and I was left behind in the backyard when my owner moved and now I have found my way into B.A.R.C. I am 6 months to a year old and I am a friendly gal. I do need some obedience training, but what young Boxer pup doesn't? I am being fostered by Alicia in Milton, FL. If you'd like to apply to make me a part of your family please fill out an application today. I'd love to meet you!

Clyde

Meet Clyde! He is an adorable 1 year old with lots of love and kisses to give! He walks well on a leash and is a very quick learner! He got the hang of the doggy door after just a few tries. Clyde does great with children. He is crate trained and house broken. He is doing great in his foster home, getting along nicely with his foster siblings (cats and dogs). A very happy go lucky boy who is looking forward to finding his forever home soon! He is heartworm negative and ready to go! If Clyde would fit right in your home please fill out an application. Clyde is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville, FL.

Packer

Opal

Hi there, I'm Opal! I’m a super-sweet and friendly girl who enjoys going on long walks, playing and cuddling at the end of a long day. I have a really cute underbite so my tongue is always sticking out. I also have one pretty, ice-blue eye! I love to play with kids and other dogs and I would love to play with cats, too, if I was allowed!

The vet says I'm about 10-12 months old. I'm a little thin for my age, but I've been eating good since I came to my new foster home. I'm either deaf or extremely hard of hearing, but it doesn't slow me down one bit. My foster mom is working on teaching me some basic signs and is also working on getting me house-broken. I am getting used to my crate and will even go in on my own when I'm ready to take a nap! I promise if you take me home, I will give you all of my love forever! Please complete an online application if you are interested in adopting Opal. She is being fostered by April in Jacksonville, FL.

Atticus

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Atticus, who is such a gentleman himself! He is 9 years old and has lived with his family since he was 8 weeks old. Unfortunately, they had to move and could not keep him. He previously lived with other dogs, cats and children so he is a well rounded guy. He is gentle on the leash and doesn't pull to get where he wants to go. He still very much enjoys playing and gets real excited if you have treats to give out, you can hear him "speaking" for his treats on his video. He loves to be by his person and if you let him will snuggle up next to you on the couch, but he is just as happy on a blanket or bed on the floor by you. He is trustworthy in the house, knows the ropes and still has a lot of love to give to a new family. Fill out an application for Atticus today, he is sure to be a popular guy! He is being fostered with Karen in Jacksonville.

Polly

Hi, I’m Polly or as my foster mommy likes to call me, Polly Wolly! I’ve been told that I’m somewhere around 6 years old and I LOVE everyone, especially kids! I used to go to the bus stop everyday and just bounce around till ALL the kids pet me!

It’s obvious to my foster family that I’ve been in a home before. They say I have some of the best manners in a Boxer they’ve ever seen. I don’t get up on the furniture, I don’t jump on people coming to the house and I take cookies like a real lady.

Polly is just as sweet as can be and she likes nothing better than to snuggle up with her special someone or go for a ride in the car. She has learned more about toys and enjoys tossing her stuffed friends and her Kongs across the room. She doesn't do well with cats though. Polly has completed her heartworm treatments and is ready for adoption today! Please complete an online application if you are interested in making Polly part of your family.

Polly is being fostered by Jen, Steve, and Samantha in St. Augustine, FL.

She is kennel-trained, house-broken, knows sit, stay, and is a good leash walker. Currently, Veda lives in a house with a cat too and so far she has obeyed her foster parents and has just looked at him while a few feet apart. Veda is being fostered by Hayley and Whit. [More]

Quigley

Hi! My name is Quigley. I am 11 months old and as you can see from my pictures I have severe demodex which is easily treatable. I am told it will probably be a couple of months before all my hair comes back in. I lost it all and was very sad. My owner could no longer take care of me so now I am staying with a really cool foster mom and dad.

I now have a big brother, Kody, who plays with me all the time and we have tons of fun (although I think he actually wears me out at times). He has some really cool toys and we get to play with them all the time. We get to run around in the back yard as much as we want and get treats. I even made my first trip ever to Petsmart. What a place that was! Best of all, I have my own room to sleep in at night...life is definitely starting to brighten up.
I am looking much better and certainly have my energy back...it is only a matter of time before I am back to the beautiful fawn boxer I should be. Keep checking on me for progress as I will be back to myself in no time! I am being fostered by Dawn in Jacksonville, FL.

Jesse is about 3.5 years old. He is classic fawn in color. He is being fostered by Tiffany and James.

Gabby

Meet Gabby! She is 52 pounds of beautiful flashy fawn female and is about 2-3 years old. She is very affectionate with people. Gabby always wants to bury her head in your lap while getting ear rubs. She is learning her commands (sit, down, and stay) and working hard to learn how to properly walk on a leash. She is making good progress on both tasks.

Gabby is becoming accustomed to the cats and gets along with the resident female dog. She is crate trained, house broken, and has mastered the doggie door. Gabby is being fostered by Elaine in Jacksonville, FL.

Jack

Jack is a 2 year old fawn male. He gets along well with his foster sibling Opal, who is also available for adoption through B.A.R.C. He is very sweet, and would probably be good for a family with a small child because he isn't overly hyper or jumpy. Jack is fully vetted and ready for his new home. Please complete an online adoption application if you are interested in making him part of your family. He is being fostered by Jen in Milton, FL. [More]

Riley

My name is Riley and I am a 4 year old female. I entered B.A.R.C. as an owner surrender when my owner could no longer take care of me. I used to live outside (which is not where I should be) with a large Doberman mix and a small Chihuahua mix. I seem to not mind cats either.

My foster home is taking excellent care of me. I now live with two foster brothers, a 10-year-old Cairn terrier and a 6-month-old Basset hound. The older dog doesn't really like to play, but we still enjoy each others company. The puppy loves to play! I would like to sit and relax most of the day, but my foster brother won't let me. We just play, play, play! I don't even get mad when he chews on me and gets rough as I am so gentle.

I am working on my crate training, but I go in for a treat and I don't whine. I seem to be housebroken because I haven't had a single accident in the house or in my crate. I have been spayed and updated on all my vaccinations. Unfortunately, I am heart worm positive. Don't worry though, my foster family has already started me on the first part of my treatment and I will be good to go in no time. I am being fostered by April in Jacksonville, FL.

Titan

Titan is a 3 year old flashy fawn boy who was turned into the shelter by his owner for digging out of the fence! He is a very good natured boy who gets along well with other dogs and even cats. He does well with children also, loves the attention. He is good in his crate, loves his blankie in there, and walks well on a leash too. If interested in Titan please complete an online application. He is being fostered by Natalie and Brian in Jacksonville, FL.

Checkers

Checkers is a young (maybe 2-3 years old) male boxer, possibly with a little mix of bulldog. He is all white except for his docked tail, which is a tiny brown nub. He's tall and lanky and probably will be 65-70 pounds after he puts the proper weight on. He was found as a stray with a "traveling companion" and a nice lady brought them to the vet for care - this is where his foster parent saw him and just knew she had to help him out! Checkers clearly had a rough life and has the scars on his face to show it. But Checkers has remained a very sweet and submissive boy. He has only been in his foster home for a few days and since he arrived here and was shown some love and affection he just wiggles and wiggles, sometimes shimmying his body entirely across a room. He also likes to "talk" when he's happy to see you with strange little howls and barks. He's really funny! He's scared and timid around the other dogs, but doesn't try to hurt them, and they seem to really like him (he has 5 foster brothers and sisters, all boxers and bullies). In his pictures you'll see that he always looks sad or concerned, but we think he's just camera shy, for one, and also he may just not be used to having attention paid to him.

Checkers is very attentive and listens well. He learned crate/house training in one night. He is very calm and quiet and just goes in his crate to rest, or will lay by you on the floor. He doesn't hound you to be pet, and he's not destructive. He hasn't shown any interest in toys or chew-bones. He doesn't beg for food and really knows his place in our home. Even when our resident dogs get excited and bark at the door, or jump when you come home he remains calm and sweet. We don't know where he learned such good manners! We hope he finds a home where he can get the love he needs and deserves, and where there's a family that can help him build up his confidence. He is a precious boy who just needs to know he's found his forever home.

Checkers has a clean bill of health and has been neutered. He will be ready for adoption or even foster-to-adopt after November 1st. We think he'd be great in any home, with children, cats, and dogs of all sizes. He is just a gem in the rough and can be whatever you want to make him. Be sure to fill out an application for Checkers if you're interested, he's sure to get adopted soon!

Jasey

Meet Jasey! She is 5 years old and a REAL sweetie. She was turned in by her owners because they couldn't care for her anymore. She gets along great with all the dogs she has met and is just a very friendly girl. She will need to complete heartworm treatment which she started on 12/14, but can go to her new home if you are willing to see her through it.

This girl is truly a gem, could even say perfect! If you want to make her your newest family member, please fill out an application today. Don't miss out on this one! She is being fostered by Mark in Jacksonville, FL.

Poppet

Poppet is an 18 month old petite fawn female. She currently weighs 33 pounds and even when she puts on some much needed weight, will probably hit just 40 pounds. Poppi is gentle and shy and at this time, has a fairly low energy level, but that may pick up when she starts feeling better. She gets along well with the other dogs in the house and seems particularly interested in the smaller Boston Terrier. She appears housebroken and has done well in her crate, although she does cry when she first goes in it. Poppi has not been taught basic commands, and we are currently working on her manners. Once she is spayed, she will be ready for adoption. Poppet is being fostered by Diana in Tallahassee, FL.

Rootbeer

Rootbeer, aka Little Bit, is a sweet 2-3 year old girl. She is fully vetted and current on her heartworm medication. She is a very happy dog, but she really wants a home of her own. If you are looking for a companion to go on your morning or evening walks she is perfect. She is very good on her leash and will walk at any pace you would like. She may even jog, not sure since no one here moves that fast. She loves her toys and her nyla bones and will sit with you on the couch or beside you on the floor. She also is crate trained and will go in happily with a couple of treats. She is very smart and learns the rules very quickly, she's not much on tricks but she obeys well. As with all dogs she is not perfect but she is pretty darn close. She is being fostered by Norma and Frank in Tallahassee, FL.

Penny

My name is Penny and I am about 2-3 years old. My foster mom said she just thought she had met the sweetest Boxer girl in the world, but that was until she met me! I am so sweet, she says I should have been a bag of sugar. I love to shake my butt in the traditional boxer fashion and load you up any time with my wet boxer kisses! My manners are pretty good too. I sit and shake, and am working on a few other basic commands.

I have a canine brother and sister here at my foster home and I get along great with both of them. Not sure what I think of cats as I really want to play with them, but I don't think they are in the least bit intereseted in me. My foster mom doesn't have children, but our neighbors do. They are 3, 5, and 8 years old and I love to play with them too! Matter of fact, I will just play and love on anyone that lets me. I am absolutely as cute as I look! Please fill out an online adoption application today if you are interested in making me part of your forever family. I am being fostered by Holli in Jacksonville, FL. [More]

Amy

Hello, my name is Amy! I am a sweet, cuddly, and loyal, 1 year old Boxer-mix girl. I love to play, but when I am done I love to lay down by your feet or chew on a Nylabone. I was found by some very nice people when my previous owners tied me to a car with a rope and left me. These caring folks have been treating me very well, but I would love to have a home of my own! I enjoy playing with my two foster sisters and get along great with them. I am very curious about their cats though. They’ve been calling me Amy, but I would rather be called YOURS! Can you make a place for me in your home? I am being fostered by Jackie and Nathan in Jacksonville, FL.

Windsor

Windsor was surrendered to the local shelter after his owner became disabled and could no longer take care of him. He is a handsome flashy brindle boy that is estimated to be 6 years old and weighs around 50 pounds, but needs to put on a few pounds. We are not sure what happened, but Windsor does have a scar on his back that has healed and missing some fur.

He is great around children, gets along well with other dogs, and just loves being close to people. Windsor likes to run, play, and go for walks too. He walks well on a leash and is house-trained. He can jump over 6 foot fence, so he should not be left outside unattended. He has completed heartworm treatment, but must be on strict rest for the next 4 weeks. If you are interested in Windsor, please complete an online application. He is being fostered by Robyn and Don.

Pops

Pops was dropped in the overnight drop pen at the shelter, we believe him to be around 8-9 years old. Pops still has a lot of love to give and is safely tucked in his B.A.R.C. foster home until he can find a new home to call his own again. Will you give him that chance? If so, please fill out an application for Pops today!

Patrick

Hi everybody! My name is Patrick and I am one happy, handsome boy! I have only been at my foster home for a short time but I am so ready to have a family of my own that I am trying to learn all the rules of the house as fast as I can and it doesn't even matter if I get a cookie when I sit or stay, I just want to make you happy! (I won't turn down that doggie cookie though, and I am careful to be gentle when I take it from your hand)!

I am a male white Boxer with big, soulful brown eyes and very soft fur. I am about 2-3 years old and, oh yeah! I have to tell you this, I can hear! You don't have to raise your voice to me either, I can hear as well as my foster brother and sister who are not white Boxers. I listened to the vet as he explained that some white Boxers have a recessive gene that can cause them to be deaf, but I don't have that kind of gene (thank goodness). I can hear a bread wrapper being opened in the kitchen or the car key's rattling (I love to ride in the car with my foster Dad) and when my foster mom scoops out some food for one of the four cats that live here, I head straight for the kitchen just in case she is also scooping out some of that delicious dog food for us Boxers. By the way, I am such a good eater that I have gained 14 pounds since I was rescued from the shelter. That was a really good day for me. I was very skinny and sick with pneumonia and had to take some medicine and get some rest to get well and in no time at all I was feeling much better and ready to start showing everyone how smart and nice I am. I am housetrained, know how to use the doggie door to go outside to potty and have learned sit, stay and "knock it off" (that means whatever I am doing I have to stop doing it).

I have a real smooshy face with a lopsided grin and a tendency to let my tongue hang out of the right side of my mouth (the vet said my lower jaw may have been broken earlier in my life). My foster parents smile every time I look at them because it really makes me look very adorable and cute! Watch for updates on me as I get closer and closer to the day that I can go to my very own family. I am heartworm positive and as soon as the vet agree's I will be treated. I would love to be a member of your family so please, go ahead and fill out an adoption form for me as I am available for the foster-to-adopt program. Love and Boxer kisses to all!

Holly

Holly was surrendered by her owner when they could no longer care for her. She is a beautiful, classic, 6 year old flashy fawn Boxer girl who is crate trained and walks well on a leash. She will need to go through heartworm treatment prior to being adopted. Please check back for updates on Holly!

Update: This lovely girl was adopted by her foster parent. Congrats to both of you! [More]

McDreamy

Think McDreamy is a strange name for a dog? Well, this gorgeous young male (2-3 years) is one hunk of a Boxer! Although only weighing 50 pounds at the moment, we expect him to top out between 75 and 80 pounds! Along with his good looks, “Mick” is a gentle, sweet boy, with youthful exuberance coupled with a calm, submissive nature. He has some real smooth moves, too! One of his favorite, is to sit calmly in front of his foster mom, lay his paw ever-so-gently on her knee, and gaze soulfully into her eyes, until she finally breaks down and gives him some loving!

He gets along with the other members of the pack, both big and small, knows basic commands, is housebroken, crate trained, fully vetted and ready for adoption. We think he would do well in any home, but due to his large size and youth, would recommend a home without small children.

Mick is truly a dream, so if you are interested in adopting him, please fill out an application today – he is sure to be adopted quickly. He is being fostered by Diana in Tallahassee.

He gets along really well with his 2 foster brothers and gives them boxer kisses all the time! Slater walks well on a leash and knows "sit."

Fonzi

Fonzi is a very energetic and lovable 2-3 year old boy. He loves running around in the yard and playing fetch with his tennis ball. He goes bouncing off to get the ball and comes bouncing back every time. Fonzi loves attention from the simplest "good boy" to an ear scratching or a back rubbing - he loves it all! Fonzi is doing wonderful in his crate while we are away from home.

He is also eating well and looks forward to getting a treat for good behavior. Fonzi is good with commands too. He knows come, sit, stay, fetch, down, and shake so far. He is an extremely intelligent boy and with the right atmosphere could learn just about anything.

He is just young and full of energy. Fonzi would do well in a home with other dogs, as long as they want to play! He definitely would enjoy a yard with some room to run and play. Fonzi is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Lilly

Lilly is an 8-9 year old pretty little lady. She was picked up as a stray and BARC came to her rescue. Lilly is a love bug couch potato who wants nothing more than to snuggle with you on the sofa with her head on your lap. She is crate trained, very easy going, knows basic commands, and loves kids. She's getting along just fine with her other brother and sisters and she doesn't seem to mind the bunny either. Her favorite past time is going for short walks and walks like a princess with her head held high. Lilly is being fostered by Elizabeth in St. Augustine.

Sammy

Hey everyone! Sammy here, but you can call me Sam! Sam I am, I don’t like green eggs, but I do like ham. I am just over a year old and weigh 55 pounds. I really need to gain about 10-15 pounds to fill out and my foster family is working on that. I am fully vetted and get along great with my foster siblings, large and small. I walk well on a leash, but love to play with it while walking. I am told that I am “cow-hocked” (my heels turn in) but I’m a Boxer and I’ve seen cows before and I look nothing like them. I am told I’m like this because the breeder kept me in smaller crate than what I needed when I was a puppy, but who knows exactly why I’m like this. Don’t worry about it because it doesn’t affect me in walking or playing. My foster dad said I must have rabbit in me because I like to jump up a lot, but he forgets that I’m still a puppy and that is what we do. Even though I’m still a puppy, I am laid back and will stop what I’m doing when told. I do know how to “sit” and “come” but some obedience training and patience is what I need. I am house broken and somewhat crate trained.

I will get on the couch if you’re not paying attention or allow me but hey, everyone else is on one! So if you are interested in adopting me, please have patience and understanding of young Boxers and our habits and fill out an online application today.

Oz

Meet Oz! He is estimated to be about 10-12 months old. A more appropriate name might be Pretty Boy Floyd. Oz is an extremely handsome young guy and he loves to steal toys from his canine brothers and sisters, especially the ones with squeakers.

He is a talker; not a barker, but a talker. He complains bitterly if one of his brothers or sisters will not play with him or they have stolen his toy but he never loses his happy demeanor. When offered another toy in its place, he happily takes it and scampers off to entice someone to chase him.

He has mastered the art of hide and seek around the big oak tree and tug-of-war with the knotted ropes. He loves his canine companions and often sleeps with his head or paw on one of them.

He has a great temperament and the face of an angel. He enjoys attention and recognition. He is one really smart guy. He does prefer praise over treats but he does heartily enjoy his biscuits too.

If everyone growls then he helps out and growls too, but he looks around at you to see if you have any idea what the growling is about or maybe if he is doing it right. He is really a riot.

He loves his meals but he is very cooperative. He knows it goes by seniority and though he wiggles with anticipation he never jumps the line. He respects the rules and the other dogs like him because he is a standup guy.

You cannot help but love him because he is the definition of lovable. He loves to ride, he loves his companions, he loves visitors, he loves the yard, he loves his bed, he loves biscuits, he loves attention and he just plain having loves his human and giving big sloppy kisses to prove it.
If you are interested in him please fill out an online adoption application today. Oz is being fostered by Trudy in Jacksonville, FL.

Sophie

Sophie is a 6 year old fawn female boxer. She is just a big-gentle giant. She is skinny from years of having a poor diet, and will likely be over 75 pounds when she reaches her proper weight. She was turned in to the shelter with her son (who is also in our program) when the owner could no longer care for her. She seems to have been taken care of pretty well and is a very good girl who knows the rules of being inside the home. She is fully vetted, including spay, and in good health. She's got a quiet and gentle demeanor and so far seems to just like to follow you around and nap in the room where you are. She also loves being pet on her neck and chest and lets you hug her and cuddle her without fussing. Sophie has the sweetest face and a nice squishy muzzle that she likes to press on your leg for some well-deserved pets. She's really just such a sweetie.

Sophie is fully house trained and knows basic commands, does not jump, chew, get on furniture or bark (as far as we can tell). That just amazes us! She seems to enjoy the company of other dogs (she has 5 foster brothers and sisters), but has not been interested in playing just yet. She'd be great with kids and other dogs due to her mellow attitude, and would be a great match for another middle-aged boxer with whom she can cuddle (she currently can be found cuddling with our 7 year old Boxer named Pickles as I am typing up her bio!)

Stay tuned for updates and a video of Ms. Sophie!

If you're looking for a laid back but big girl who knows all the rules and just wants to be loved, Sophie is for you! She's ready to be adopted today! Sophie is being fostered by Dana and Matt. [More]

Tori

Hi, my name is Tori ! Let me tell you all about me. I have a docked tail, but I still have my soft ears. I am appx 2.5 years old. I am 65 pounds, and I am solid muscle. I LOVE to go on long walks and I do very well on the leash. I also love the beach. My foster mom has even walked me 10 miles in one day before and I enjoyed every minute of it! She has taken me to dog parks and I always get compliments from everyone about how pretty and well mannered I am. I play well with everyone, and even if a little guy growls at me, I will just turn my head and go find somebody else to play with. If you log on the bluestreakdogpark in Brunswick Georgia, you may can still see some pictures of me on there. I also am accustomed to a crate. (mom calls it my "house") All you have to do is tell me "Tori, go get in your house" and I run right in. Sometimes after my potty breaks I just bolt right in without being told because I will know I get a treat when I get in there! As a matter of fact, I will do most anything for a treat, I love them. I also know how to sit. And I am not the typical dog that jumps on you either.

When I come up to you, most of the time I just sit automatically and look up at you all on my own without having to be told. I have learned that people love that, and that always makes them tell me how smart and well behaved I am too. Now, if you don't give me a treat, I may start to sniff your pockets to see where you have them hidden and try to remind you to give me one! I enjoy the water too. My foster mom has a lake behind her house and she knows where some property is that she takes me to sometimes that is safe and I get to run and splash in the water, that's always fun for me. And, of course I love to go on rides in the car. Anywhere you want to go is fine with me. Although I think the whole throw/fetch thing is not much fun, I do love my toys. I love to play with any squeaky toy, I like my kong toy with peanut butter in it, and pretty much any toy that I have ever been given I have had a blast with. So, as you can tell, I am pretty much the best girl you could ask for......(mom thinks so anyway) And, one more thing, I do good with children too! All I need is someone to love me and give me a FOREVER home. If all this sounds good to you, fill out and application and come and visit me and see for yourself ! Tori is being fostered by Lisa.

He is fully vetted and heartworm negative! His dental work will be completed shortly. If you want to learn more about this fellow please fill out an online adoption application today! Draco is being fostered by Elaine in Jacksonville, FL.

Chance

Chance is about 2 years old and one of the sweetest boys you'll ever meet. Chance is quiet and reserved and doesn't make very much noise. He's always ready for a good belly rub or ear scratch and never hesitates to come lean up against you for a little attention. Chance is fully house broken and will let us know whenever he needs to go out...even just to go play! Chance really enjoys the yard and will explore from corner to corner until we ask him to come back inside.

Chance is good around other dogs and behaves well like a gentleman when it comes to young children. Best of all is that he doesn’t jump on people like a typical Boxer which is perfectly fine with us. We don't know how he would do around cats, but he met one in the vets office and didn't even give it a second look. Chance is independent, but loves to be acknowledged. He has been following me around the house and will sit and watch...as long as he gets a "good boy" and a pat on the head or an ear scratch he's one happy boy. Chance is ready to find a home with lots of love and a nice warm blanket to call his own. Please fill out an online adoption application if you are interested in making him part of your family. He is being fostered by Tristin and Andrew in Middleburg, FL.

Griff

Griff is a non hearing boxer, but it doesn't stop him from speaking to his foster mom. When she returns home, he greats her with the cutest little woofie sound and says "yooowwl" when she scratches his favorite spot. Griff knows the signs for sit and down and is currently learning stay, food and outside. He even recognizes a signal that gets him to bark and wag his tail!

Griff is 4 years old and weighs 85 lbs; he needs to lose about 10 lbs. and his foster mom is up to the task! He is fully housebroken, and knows to hop in his crate when asked to, but his foster home has not been crating him. Griff is good with other dogs and does well with the toddler in the house. Griff does well on a leash and his foster mom thinks he might be a good jogging partner, once he gets back into shape. If you would like more information on this sweet boy, please fill out an application today. Griff is being fostered by Cindy and David in DeFuniak Springs, FL.

Jadya

Let us introduce you to a sweet-tempered and devoted companion who asks only kindness and affection in exchange for her devotion. Age and experience trump youth and enthusiasm in this girl, yet she loves to play and will chase a ball for as long as you’re willing Teething, chewing furniture, potty training…? No worries! That stuff’s for puppies!

Jayda is a beautiful brindle female Boxer, approximately 7 years old with natural ears and tail and a perfect black mask. Jayda comes and goes with the other dogs, is housebroken and already enjoys walks on the beach. She’s looking for someone to provide structure and direction and would love to take an obedience class to learn how best to please. B.A.R.C. is currently assessing her health needs (stay tuned for more!) but her sweet nature and eagerness to please are abundantly clear. Her beautiful face and big Boxer kisses are an invitation - open your heart and home to a grown up dog whose needs are simple and her rewards hard to put into words. Jayda is being fostered by Susan and Ray in Monticello.

Boxer kisses to Amy and Gil Samson of Jacksonville, FL for sponsoring Jadya in Memory of Calla!

Kylee

Hi!! I'm Kylee (aka "Snaggletooth" because I have one tooth that sticks out
just a little. so cute!). I'm a 4-year-old BEAUTIFUL brindle girl with a
slightly crooked natural tail only about 6 inches long. and I'm chopped full
of love, affection, and smiles awaiting my forever home. Talk about a dog
that NEVER goes more than a moment or two without a smile on my face and a
wiggle in my butt when I'm awake! My foster mommy was incredibly surprised
by some of my "non-Boxer" tendencies. like I don't jump up on people when I
greet them and I'm not 24/7 energy.

I do love to play and PLAY I will like
there's no tomorrow, but it's really a toss-up between play and "snuggle
time". I get along very well with my foster brothers and sisters, doing
extremely well in a "pack" situation with at least one other dog to spend my
time with. I'm super quick to learn. learning how to walk pretty on a leash, "sit",
"stay", and even "down" in such a short time! I have mastered the art of
"stay" to the point that my foster mommy can walk around the corner with
food in my bowl and I'll wait for her to say "go ahead" before I chow down.
Don't get me wrong. eating is my FAVORITE past time, leaping in circles when
I know it's breakfast or dinner time, but I patiently wait for her to say
"go"! Amazing, huh?? I came to the house already doing extremely well in a
crate and completely housebroken, taking absolutely no time to catch on to
all the "ways around the house" from my foster brothers and sisters! :D I
am really eager to learn and to be close to my family, whether you're
teaching me new tricks, in your face giving sloppy kisses, being a 55-lb lap
dog, or just being the typical "Boxer shadow" that I am following my foster
mommy around EVERYWHERE.

When I first came to my foster home there was NEVER a moment
without a toy in my mouth. now it's mainly for play and less for a "security
blanket". Regardless, I don't have separation anxiety. I just need some way
to comfort myself until I'm completely comfortable, the vet's staff finds me
incredibly adorable with how I love my toys. Don't let that discourage you,
because you'll be missing out on an absolutely WONDERFUL member of the
family!! None better if you ask my foster mommy.

Kylee is being fostered by Angie.

Sulley

Meet Sulley, he is a 2-3 year old big flashy fawn boy. He LOVES his large tennis ball and gets along well with his 2 foster brothers and sister. He is crate trained and knows what "crate up" means! Not sure how he would do with cats as there aren't any in his foster home.

Sulley is about 80 pounds currently and will probably be about 85 when at a good weight. If you would like to make Sulley a part of your family please fill out an application today! He is being fostered by Mark in Jacksonville, FL.

Audrey

Hi I am Audrey. I am a sweet and loving 6-7 year old boxer girl. I am potty trained and know basic commands like come, sit, etc. I am heartworm negative and ready to go to my new home!! Audrey is a very loving gentle girl. She gets along with old guys like our senior male boxer and the two mischevious females in dog clothing that let us share their digs and let us not forget Jackson the beagle/jack russell mix that steals her food if I turn my back. She actually tolerates these food raids with just barks to alert me to his antics.

She minds well and is not at all destructive. She enjoys playing with her toy and is always up for a cuddle. She likes to be near you and will lay at your feet or beside you on the sofa with her head in your lap. Her favorite thing is you.
She is a joy to foster and adds a wonderful sweet dimension to our family. If you are interested in me please fill out an application and come meet me. Audrey is being fostered by Karen.

Lolah

Hi! My name is Lolah, but my foster mom calls me the sweetest dog EVER!I was surrendered to an area shelter when my previous owner did not provide standard veterinary care. BARC picked me up from the shelter and I am on the road to recovery with my new foster mom! I am approximately six years old. I am crate and house trained, and I get along great with children, other dogs, and I LOVE cats! Other dogs may think I am weird for getting along with these furry creatures, but that is OK with me as long as I have a human that will love me and tell me how great I am! I am a quiet boxer who knows not to jump on people, and I listen to my foster mom when she asks me to sit, shake, stay, and lay down. We also go on walks a lot during the evening and I am just a doll on the leash! My foster mom even plays games with me – she will say “kennel” and toss a treat inside for me and I will run in to get it! We do the same thing for a bath and I will just hop right in the tub. My foster mom also gives me peanut butter as a treat in the morning and at night…but I think she might be tricking me into taking my medication…that is OK though because it is so yummy!
I still have to be spayed, but after that I will be available for adoption. I would love to come home with you!!! Please consider making apart of your home forever! -Lolah

Mozart

Mozart is a gentle guy who really enjoys being with his human companion and loves being loved! He has quickly adjusted to having four canine foster brothers and sisters. Only one of which is a Boxer, so he has been exceptionally adaptable to this hodge-podge of breeds and personalities.

He has a very nice "live and let live" attitude which even extends to the cats which on the whole are not particularly dog friendly. He acknowledges them, but no growling or chasing them. They think he is a vast improvement over the other resident dogs which are somewhat ill-mannered to them.

Mozart does enjoy his meals, but is willing to wait his turn for his dish and it is just fine if a human hand appears and pushes his nose over to add some pills to his food. He is even patient while eating though you know from his thinness that he has missed many meals.

He spent most of his life chained outside with only occasional companionship either human or canine and very sparse meals; yet he still loves everybody. He has earned and he deserves a home where he will not spend hours without his family. In truth, I believe he would choose constant companionship over food. He has a rare and beautiful spirit and he should reside with the same type of beings.

Meet Dante! Dante is a 9 year old male who was left at the shelter by his previous owner because they didn't have time for him anymore. Dante's foster mom can't figure that out since he doesn't take up any time at all. Dante is fully housebroken and he can be left out in the house and he doesn't get into any mischief. Dante knows all basic commands, is great in the car, gets along great with cats and other dogs. She didn't even have to teach him to walk on the leash, because he already knows how to do that too!!

Dante is a very laid back easy going sweet boy who loves to follow his foster mom all over the house and just wants to hang out with her. And don't think since he is 9 he won't be any fun anymore- Dante loves to play ball in the yard, loves his squeaky toys, and going for walks around the block. This boy will make a great pet for someone who wants a mature, yet still somewhat spunky companion. Dante is being fostered by Lea in Milton.

Carli

Carli is an energetic 3-4 year old Boxer girl who is quickly learning how good life can be. She absolutely adores her people and wants to be at their side constantly. She savors every ounce of attention thrown to her. She will follow you around the house to assist in any chores you may have. When not with her people she's likely playing with her foster siblings in the back yard. She has come to love wrestling with her foster brother, a 3 year old Boxer. She knows that the 10 year old Boxer in the home will only put up with so much, so she's smart enough to only play with her for short periods.

After a single training session with "The Muttman", she has done well learning how to walk on a leash. More practice is needed and she loves to practice walking! She is crate trained, house trained and knows how to use a doggie door. She is being fostered by Paul in Gainesville, FL. [More]

Babs

Babs is a wonderful and energetic 1-1/2 yr old(still lots of puppy) girl. She is spayed and up to date on her shots . Babs loves kids but would do best with older kids as she does like to run and jump and might knock a smaller child down. She also does great with other dogs and would probably do best with a playmate as she does love to play!

Babs is a huge love bug! Her favorite spot is curled up next to you (or in your lap) on the couch for a good snuggle. Not sure how she would react or interact with a cat though. Babs would be the perfect addition to a family that loves to be outside! She loves the water and to go swimming! If there's a pool around she's the first one in! She also wants to be around her people and loves going on car rides to anywhere!

With her pretty eyes, sweet nature, and super soft coat she is sure to make someone very happy in their forever home. Maggie is being fostered by Julie in Pensacola.

Rufus sits, shakes, speaks, and even howls when you ask him to in return for a treat. He has some of the sweetest, most loyal eyes you've ever seen that will melt your heart on the spot. He does well with young kids as well and just wants to find a forever home that will shower him with the love he truly deserves.

Murray

Hi! I'm Murray and I've got a big personality with lots of love to share! I am under 1 year old and will be about 65-75lbs full grown. I enjoy spending time with people of any age or gender; my favorite is giving kisses and receiving attention! I respect personal space, so I don't jump on anyone. I do, however, enjoy following people around the house. I love playing fetch but I can also be very calm when you ask me to. I absolutely love taking long walks/runs and am very good on the leash! Crate training and house training was a breeze for me. I'm such a smart little boy! I'm learning my basic commands now, and am catching on really quickly!

I get along great with other dogs, big or small and love to play and run around with them! I also don't mind cats. I live in an apartment now and the space is fine for me since I enjoy laying around the house or chewing on a toy until its time to play. So I'm a very sweet, and quiet couch potato.

Piper

Did you know that so much love, play, kisses, and wiggles could fit into one little body? Well, at around 45 pounds and just over a year old, I'm ALL of the above!! Hi, I'm Piper! You would never know that I came from a horrible neglect case by the constant smile on my face. I may not have started out very well, but thanks to the wonderful people at my small town Animal Control and BARC I am now one of the HAPPIEST puppies ever!! Well, I'll be even happier when I find that forever home with perfect family for me. Despite my youthfulness I am super smart, have a great attention span (most of the time, hey... I'm only a year old), and really eager to learn.

I already know "sit" (which I can do for a few seconds until my butt wiggles off the ground) and give "high fives", but starting to learn a little bit about what a leash is, how to "stay" for a few moments, and a few more manners that every young lady should know. I'm pretty good at letting you know when I need to potty, but sometimes I get so wound up in play I forget to let you know. We're working on that though and I am learning quickly. I am figuring out trhe crate thing too. That one's becoming a LOT easier thanks to my foster brother leading the way; of course the cookie I get when I go in helps, too. I get along great with dogs, cats, people, children... you name it. Everyone becomes my best friend in an instant.

I also love to play. It's probably the first thing I do in the morning and last thing I do before passing out at night. Not a moment goes by that I am not either playing tug-of-war, "boxing" with my stepbrother, or throwing around my toys if everyone else is passed out. Next favorite past-time? You better believe it's snuggling and giving kisses. Heck, I'll soak your shirt if you don't give me a face or arm or anything else to kiss. If you think this wonderful little package of Boxer is right for you, just send in your application to the wonderful BARC folks and my foster mommy, Angela, will get it. Take care and can't wait to meet you!!

Garnet

Hi! I'm Garnet and I just came to stay with my foster Mom last weekend. She says that I am like having a toddler in the house because I'm only about 1 year old and small, just 36 pounds and lots of fun! I love to play with my dog foster brother and sisters and I get along with everyone. I am crate trained and don't give my foster Mom any problems about going into it.

My foster Mom wants you to know that I am sweet, sweet, sweet. After I wear myself out I like to climb up in her lap for a little rest. I know how to "sit". I try to "stay" but not very long. And I even fetch the stick although I don't bring it back very well. But I sure LIKE to do that. I always come when she calls me even if I'm busy playing with my foster family. Sometimes I forget to go outside to "potty" but we're working on that and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I am a quick learner!! My foster Mom wants me to tell you that I am excited about my forever home and that they are going to be very lucky family!

Perry

Perry is a gorgeous 19 month old fawn male, who knows basic commands and is housebroken and crate trained. He is very responsive to correction and is not as hyper as some young boxers. He is eager to please and good with other dogs, children and cats. Perry is neutered and fully vetted, but does need to go through heartworm treatment. If you think this is the boy for you, please fill out an application today. He is being fostered by Diana in Tallahassee, FL.

Update: Perry has completed heartworm treatment and is now ready for adoption. He would do best in a home with a 6’ privacy fenced yard, since he climbs like a monkey and will go over any fence lower than that (may even go over a 6’ fence a few times). Perry would also enjoy the company of a female Boxer (or other breed), but can be dominant with larger males; however, he has done well with the male Boston Terrier in his foster home. Once integrated, he is fine with most dogs, but shouldn’t go to a home that routinely has other dogs visiting. Perry’s favorite activity is chasing squirrels and gazing up into the tree tops, so he would be the happiest in a home with a nice size, secure, back yard. Perry loves people, is moderately active, loving and well behaved and is looking forward to finding his forever home.

Zoe has fabulous manners! She walks on a leash well, understands a few basic commands, and is crate trained. Zoe plays with the enthusiasm of a dog half her age but can be just as content to lie in her doggie bed next to her foster mom's sewing table or foster dad's computer desk.

Zoe is very people oriented. She plays well with her foster brother who is 70 pounds and the same size. Zoe was recently spayed, has her shots, is heartworm negative and is ready to go to her forever home! Zoe is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Tabitha

Hello all!! I'm Tabitha... a wiggly, snuggly, playful, 2-year-old petite girl with natural ears and tail. Right now I'm not looking at my best, but that'll change very fast with the TLC that comes with being a foster in BARC. I'm already spayed, up-to-date with my shots, and surprisingly heartworm negative, but still need to spend a little time gaining some weight and growing some hair back from the malnourishment. I'm only weighing in at 41 pounds right now and shouldn't be more than 50 when at my ideal weight. We don't know my background prior to the shelter, but who cares with a personality like mine?? I'm very sweet and love people and other dogs... I'm even pretty good with the small thing they call a dog that walks around the house. Not sure how I'll be around little kids, but have no doubt I'd be just fine if they don't mind my tail that is ALWAYS going. I am working on obedience training now and I'm super eager to please my people, so it shouldn't take long for me to gain some manners. If nothing else, I do let you know when I need to go "potty" outside and do really well in the crate! As you can see from my pictures, I love toys and play. If my foster siblings won't play, I'll play by myself tossing it in the air and shaking it around... of course with true Boxer fashion I will "box" with whomever is around. Well, if my energy level and personality seem right up your alley than please fill out an application so me and my foster mommy can meet you. :)

I am very gentle when you give me treats and, oh boy, do I love treats!!
I have a foster boxer sister who I already love and I really enjoy playing with the neighbor kids. Those fuzzy animals that purr are pretty cool, too. So, I'll make a good companion to any human or fur family member.
I am crate trained and am a joy to have as a foster.

Jiminy

Jiminy, whose mom was Boxer, is now a year old and being returned to the BARC program by no fault of his own. His previous adopters are moving and their new place doesn't allow pets. This is an all too common reason that rescue organizations hear for giving up a dog, but there are many resources out there for pet owners needing assistance with finding pet friendly rental properties, they just are not utilized. Please remember being a responsible pet owner means committing to the animal for the length of the animal's life, not just until circumstances make it inconvenient.

Jiminy is a sweet boy that gets along with other dogs and does well with kids. He loves to play, play, play and would make a great running partner. Complete an online adoption application today if you would like to foster Jiminy or want to make him part of your forever family!

Bambino

Bambino is a cute 8-9 month old girl. BARC was notified about Bambino by a home-building company that had noticed her around the home construction sites.
She was living in the woods by herself for 1-2 months and surviving off of scraps that the construction workers were giving her, and food from the home-building company's sales person. After a week of trying to catch Bambino, she was finally corralled and placed in a BARC foster home.
Bambino initially had no trust in humans and was very scared, but she is becoming more comfortable with every day that goes by. She is now walking on a leash and is doing really well with house training. She also does very well in her crate at night.
Bambino is such a sweet dog, and is showing great progress in learning to become "mans best friend". Bambino is being fostered by Mark in Jacksonville.

Meet Caroline... we may not know a whole lot about her, yet, but we do know that she's a absolute sweet natured 2-4 year old girl who has had at least 2 litters of puppies in her short life (starting to get her girlish figure back from the latest). Still adjusting to her new foster home and figuring out her personality, she is showing that she knows "sit" and "shake", rides well in cars, and doesn't even mind the crate! Caroline will need some leash manners, but while she's settling into her BARC foster home and getting all her vetting done she'll have the opportunity to learn. She's already attaching herself to her foster mommy in true Boxer "shadow" style and has the extra wiggly butt to go with the many other Boxer traits we all know and love. Come back to check up on Caroline and learn about her as her personality blossoms and vetting is concluded! We hope to meet you soon!! Caroline is being fostered by Angie.

Hi, my name is Dasher (Dash, for short) for 3 reasons: I am a handsome and Dashing young fellow; I love to Dash around the yard; and best of all, I was lucky enough to be rescued by BARC in the month of December! I am a small boxer, 10-12 months old, who was left at the shelter. My foster parents are crate training me and teaching me that there are things called chew toys that I can chew on without getting into a bit of trouble! I am fully vetted and heartworm negative.
I really love to snuggle and give boxer kisses! I walk well on a leash, and am very smart! On my first day with my foster family, I have already learned “sit,” and am working on “down.” I have not had the chance to play with my foster brother and sister yet, but I am tolerating all their stares and bouncing around my crate. I would love to have the chance to find a forever home and learn some more fun things from my new family! My forever home would be the best Christmas present ever!! Dasher is being fostered by Karla in Milton.

Pippa

Pippa is a sweet, friendly, loving 2 year old girl that is brand new to our program. She loves kids!!! She is housebroken and very good in her crate when we leave the house. Her favorite spot to lay in right next to the couch right below wherever you are sitting. Pippa is a playful little girl and is having a good time with the other dogs in the home. She is ready for a new home to spend a lifetime with. Pippa is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Update:Pippa Has been adopted by Stephen, Lauren and Charlie in Jacksonville. [More]

Rosie

Rosie is a sweet petite 2-3 year old girl. She does great with cats and dogs. She is very mild tempered and will fit in with just about any family. Rosie is housebroken and crate trained.

Click here to watch a video of Rosie playing with her foster brother Bentley.

Update: Rosie and Bentley were adopted together by the Wheeler family in Baldwin, FL.

Bogart

Bogart is what those of us who have been around a long time in rescue call an "old soul." That is our terminology to describe what is just the creme de la creme of dogdom. Bogart is estimated to be 7-8 years old and he is a southern gentleman through and through. Manners are the name of the game with this fellow. We found out, almost by hap-instance, that he has retinal degeneration. This is a condition that causes him to be blind in both eyes but once he knows his surroundings, he acclimates very well. Since dogs' primary senses are smell and hearing it is not as much of a challenge as one might think. He is compatible with large and small dogs and does well with cats too. Why not complete an online adoption application today! Bogart is being fostered by Felicia in Jacksonville.

Bogart is sponsored by Diana Hallock in loving memory of Tucker. [More]

Arlene

3/27/12- Shortly before she was to undergo surgery for breast cancer, Arlene became affected with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Although this was unforeseen, we treated it aggressively and had every hope that she would overcome the infection and be ready to undergo the lifesaving surgery that she needed. It is with a very heavy heart that we let you know that Arlene's body was unable to overcome the infection. The MRSA spread to her internal organs and was greatly affecting her ability to breathe and causing her kidneys to shut down. Arlene earned her angel wings today. From the words of foster parent Connie, "Although we couldn't provide Arlene with a forever home here on earth, she will be my forever friend and hold a special place in my heart".

“We can’t know why the lily has so brief a time to bloom in the warmth of sunlight’s kiss upon it's face before it folds it's fragrance in and bids the world goodnight to rest it's beauty in a gentler place. But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost, and none who has ever touched a heart can really pass away, because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which they’ve been a part.”

We are incredibly grateful to all of those that donated in support of Arlene. Her suffering is over now, but your generosity and kindness will make a difference in the lives of other needy program dogs.

UPDATE- 3/2/12!
It's been raining buckets for days in Tallahassee where Arlene is fostered- in the last few days it's been raining human kindness too as donations poured in from across the states for her fight against breast cancer. We are ecstatic to report that she will be able to have the surgery she needs next week! Any funds received over the ChipIn amount are gladly appreciated for her aftercare and for other special needs program dogs. Many, many slobbery Boxer kisses to all of those who have given her this chance and we will keep you updated! Arlene is pictured here with foster sister Alex ready to kick cancer in the pa'tootie!

HELP ARLENE BEAT BREAST CANCER!

Arlene is a beautiful six year old Boxer who was found abandoned and near death floating in a swimming pool. Arlene quickly flourished in the care of BARC foster parent, Connie. However, a few months after coming in to the BARC program, a mysterious mass appeared on Arlene's belly.

Sadly, our program veterinarian has determined that this is a growth of mammary tumors, aka breast cancer. With surgery, Arlene's chances of continuing to live and happy and healthy life are good, but without the surgery, she will not survive. The surgery for these types of tumors is extensive, and therefore, even with our discounted rescue rates, the funding for this surgery is not at hand in our small, all volunteer organization. We think that Arlene deserves this chance at perhaps the only happy live she has ever known. Click here to watch Arlene's special "BARC for a Cure" video created by BARC volunteer Megan.

If you can donate any amount to this chip in below BARC (& Arlene) would be ever so grateful that people like you gave her a chance to be a breast cancer survivor. [More]

Bree is a delightful white girl without hearing. She is full of spunk and loves doing her laps around the yard. She is about 1 year old and is a very lovable petite girl. She is learning some hand signals and getting used to the idea of being crated. If you think this girl would be a good match for you fill out an application today! Bree is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Bruiser

This little guy was found all alone in a drain ditch by a good samaritan. This 9 week old boy is great with other dogs, good with cats, and wonderful with children. He loves to nuzzle his way in next to you and cuddle. He likes to bounce and play and is catching on to potty training pretty quickly. For a little guy he can hold his own with his 75 pound boxer siblings. He is very loving and loyal to his foster parents and is never more then a few steps away from them at anytime. He is doing well in the crate, and with a little persistancy he'll be crate trained in no time. Bruiser is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Felix

Felix is a gorgeous 6mo. old (est.) male brindle boxer. His pictures do not do him justice! He was turned over to BARC as a stray so his history is unknown but he's turning out to be a lovely dog. He is excellent on walks; even in his foster home's busy neighborhood where he encounters other dogs, playing children, etc... He does not mind spending time in his crate sleeping or chewing on a rawhide. Felix is almost housebroken and learning so fast

Felix is getting along great with all the other dogs in the house...large and small. He knows how to sit and is currently learning how to wait to be asked to come inside. He's very playful, easy-going, and generally just a happy pup and would make a great dog for anyone.

Felix is being treated for a minor skin infection that was making him quite itchy but it's getting better every day and as soon as he is healed from his neuter he will start to go for runs with his foster mom! Felix is being fostered Fallon in Pensacola.

Chandler

Chandler is a gorgeous, tall 3-4 year old boy. He is very gentle and knows the basic commands. He is crate trained, housebroken and walks well on a leash. He is getting along great with the other dogs in his home and is turning out to be an all around great dog! Chandler is heartworm positive and will be treated as soon as possible. He is being fostered by Shanon and Cam in Jacksonville.

Madysen

Madysen is the absolute picture of sweetness. She loves attention and plays well with the resident young children and three yr old male boxer. She knows basic commands and is house trained. Madysen is a fantastic dog and loves to play with her foster family or sleep by the fireplace on her dog bed. She is the perfect balance of energy and calm and she will make a wonderful addition to most any family. Madysen is being Joanne in Tallahassee.

Millie

Millie is a delightful, petite five year old Boxer. She has basic obedience training and is great with other dogs. She is currently being fostered with a Chihuahua and knows to be gentle with him. Millie is very affectionate once she gets to know you. She tends toward the timid side with new people and new situations and she does not like thunderstorms. Once acclimated to her surroundings, Millie is your typical velcro Boxer girl who runs like the wind, plays tug-o-war with the foster family’s other dogs, craves attention and blazes a trail of Boxer joy everywhere she goes. She is being fostered by Michelle in the Gainesville area.

Pearl

Pearl is a sweet natured, non-hearing Boxer, who just wants to be near her foster parents. She is a loving girl, with the right mixture of playfulness and calmness – depending on what is going on around her. She is doing well with her foster brother, Ollie, and settled in to her new foster home quickly. She is house broken and walks very well on a leash, so if you are looking for a companion, Pearl is the girl for you!
Pearl is being fostered by Chuck and Judy.

Ruby

Ruby is a sweet "mature" Boxer reputed to be 10 years of age. Yet there is a lot of life in this gal. While certainly more laid back than
your younger Boxer (but what dog isn't?), Ruby is affectionate, enjoys
interacting with both human and canine companions and seems to enjoy
life in general. Searching for squirrels in the yard is one of her
favorite activities and she is making friends through the fence with the
horses next door. She would be a great companion for someone who loves
the "Boxer personality", but isn't up for the energy of a younger one.
She is exceptionally well-mannered and responds readily to commands.
Other than pulling on the leash a bit, she clearly has had training in
the past. While she needs some minor medical care, she will soon be
ready for adoption to a loving home that thinks senior dogs are special,
because clearly Ruby is a special girl. Ruby is being fostered by Trula in Tallahassee.

Baxter

Personal testimony about Baxter from his foster parent: Baxter gets along well with other dogs, and even tolerates cats. He is good with children, completely house broken, thrives in new environments (I’ve taken him multiple times to two of my client’s places of business) and he lives to please. My schedule changes frequently and Baxter has learned to occupy himself each morning until my alarm goes off – no matter what time that is after sunrise!

While Baxter would do well in a forever home with other dogs, he also enjoys being the center of attention and would thrive in any home where he is included, talked to and petted often. Baxter loves his toys, especially tough chew bones – he leaves my clothes, furniture, shoes, sandals and other “human” items alone. Baxter is willing to be crated but I don’t think he needs to be. The few times he has soloed in the home he has done absolutely fine.
Baxter is not a barker – except at my home where he does his job to let me know when there are people and things going on outside (that I, of course, should be aware of). Baxter is learning what is routine and what is not (like my neighbors going to work vs. the sales person coming to the door). I’ve seen a whole lot of love from this dog. If I was able to always have two dogs, I’d be adding Baxter to my family, but I can’t keep two dogs long term. Baxter is willing to learn and doing well with sit, stay, come and has learned ‘no’ so well that I think he actually tells me ‘no’ sometimes (yes, he talks and it is pretty funny). If you want a great addition to the family or simply a companion with playful energy Baxter is your guy. Baxter is being fostered by Ross in High Springs.

Doc

Doc is a gentle, sweet and loving 9 year old. He is a true southern gentleman! He is housebroken and does not need to be crated. He minds his manners and is a joy to have in the home. Doc is ready to find his forever home today. He is being fostered by Karen in Jacksonville.

Elvis

Update June 14, 2012: Elvis is now healthy and ready for his new home. His foster home cannot believe how sweet he is and how gentle he is with her small child. He knows sit and stay and loves to go for car rides too. Despite his name, Elvis is not a very vocal guy. You won't find him crooning about his blue suede shoes or even barking much! This big boy (67 lbs) is crate trained and housebroken. He would be a lap dog if he could.

April 2012: Elvis is a two year old flashy fawn boxer, who is the father of Priscilla’s puppies. He is putting on some much needed weight and is a happy boy who just wants to be loved. He is being treated for intestinal parasites and when he is healthy enough to do undergo surgery he will be neutered. He also has to go through heartworm treatment before he will be available for adoption. Please check back for updates on Elvis! [More]

Kyrk

My name's Kyrk, I'm about 2 years old, and still sportin that puppy
charm. I'm definitely a leaner, finding any chance I can to lean up
against someone just for some love and attention. I may be a little shy
when we first meet, but if you have a tennis ball I think we'll get
along great. Fetch is probably my favorite sport, I just love to get outside
and run around. I also get along great with other dogs and children.
Kyrk is being fostered by Chris in Gainesville.

Jonny

Jonny is a four year old gentle giant. This American Bulldog/Boxer mix is wonderful with children, small dogs and cats and even likes his baths - he will step right in the tub! He knows sit, lay down, stay and "high five." Jonny loves to play and enjoys down time too. He is housebroken, crate trained, fully vetted and ready to go home with a lucky someone. Please fill out an application today and get ready to meet your fantastic new family member!

Alanzo

I'm Alanzo. At age five, I was taken to a shelter because my owner
moved into an apartment and didn't have room for me anymore. I'm not
sure he understood how good I could be in a condo, but my foster mom
says I'm awesome. I love to snuggle and give kisses! And although
human words aren't coming out, I love to talk to you when you get
home! I enjoy long walks... anywhere, as long as I'm with you. I love
to play with my foster sister who is also a boxer and even though she
isn't quite one yet, I can still keep up! We do everything
together.... eat together, play together, and nap together! I am
crate-trained and get in it every morning willingly... with a treat.
At night, I sleep in my own bed next to my foster mom's big bed and
don't bother her until the morning when it's time to go outside. I can
be described as loving, obedient, silly, social and extremely loyal. I
am very smart and know how to Come, Sit, Shake, and just learned
Speak! I'm still learning to Stay. If you are ready for a serious
relationship, please call!
I am heartworm positive and will be treated as soon as possible. I am being fostered by Amy in Jacksonville.

Valerie

Valerie is a spirited 7 year old girl. She walks well on a leash, is crate trained and housebroken. Her foster home says she is a fabulous girl who would make a great addition to almost any home. She is being fostered by Aleta in Miramar Beach.

Andre

Andre will be 5 on April 9th. He was surrendered to BARC after his owner could not afford to have his skin infections treated at the vet. He has begun the meds that were needed and is on the road to regaining what will be a beautiful brindle coat! He seems to enjoy his baths too. Andre was kept in the backyard his whole life and had never even ridden in a car before. He is curious about just about everything: refrigerator, the washing machine spinning and the vacuum has really got him stumped! He has had only a few accidents in the house , but those were in the first few days. He seems to be getting the hang of going outside very quickly. He watches his foster brothers and sister and is a fast learner. He is still figuring out how the household works and getting in a routine . He is quiet and calm in his crate, no fuss at all about it, and is snoring in no time usually. He is discovering toys, particularly balls and is beginning to play a bit with one if you encourage him. He will follow you around the house just to see what new thing he might see next. He is quiet and polite but his foster mom can tell there is a very playful boy in there somewhere! He walks well on a leash when he figures out what direction you want him to go. He is just a very easy guy to have around . Check back as more pics are added and a video or 2 soon! He doesn't have his good looks back yet, but we can tell he'll be a handsome boy soon! Andre is being fostered by Trudy in Jacksonville

Carson

Hi I'm Carson! I'm just three years old and I came to BARC as a stray. My foster family is sure I've had some obedience training - they can't stop telling me how well I behave! My interests include running and fetch as well as an equal amount of nap time. Self-respecting gentleman that I am, of course I will sit, shake your hand, and definitely not relieve myself in OUR house. I get along great with kids and other dogs, and I sure would love to come be the boxer in your family! Carson is being fostered by Chris in Gainesville.

Kip

Kip aka Apollo is a gorgeous 4.5 year old boy weighing about 70 lbs who was surrendered by his family when they could no longer afford to take care of him. He previously lived with a 3 year old child. He has adjusted very well in his foster home and is now playing with his foster canine sister. He is gentle boy especially when giving kisses and doesn't jump on you like most typical Boxers, but still has the traditional "wiggle butt" when excited and comes off all fours (as you can see in his video) and will play rough if you want him to. When he "boxes" he is quite the vocal fellow!

He enjoys cuddling on the couch when invited and sleeps at the foot of the bed when allowed. Kip would do well in a home with a laid-back canine sibling. No kitties or small dogs please!
He seems to enjoy the presence of his people more and loves a good rub down.

He is crate trained, walks fairly well on a leash and knows the "sit" and "shake" command. He rarely barks (normally when playing), but usually whines when he is hungry or has to go outside to potty. He is fully vetted and ready for his forever home, so fill out an online application today! Kip is being fostered by Laura and Daytona in Jacksonville.

Darby

Hello two-legged friends! My name is Darby and I am two years old. I am a gorgeous girl. I LOVE to be near my humans, go for walks, and cuddle up in my bed. I am a pretty laid back gal-I enjoy leaping and bounding in the yard with my two foster siblings, but I also understand that one does not potty in the house and that crate time is down time. I am excited to meet my new family and to give them all of my love!! :) Darby is being fostered by Brittney in Freeport.

Moe

Moe is a sweet, affectionate white boxer. He is approximately 1.5 years old with tons of energy. He likes to play tug-of-war with the rope (see link for video below) and gets along well with other dogs. He craves affection and only wants to please people. After only one day of fearing the crate, he happily goes in and out, especially when he needs a break from his feisty foster sister. He's a little thin, but is having no problems eating all the food his foster parents give him!
His favorite thing to do is be petted. He will stand for hours with his head in your lap and let you pet his head. He also likes to lean all his weight into you so you can rub his whole body down. Moe is housebroken, but when he has to go, HE HAS TO GO! When Moe needs to go out to do his business, he runs around in circles quickly. Don't mistake this for playtime. Take him out right away!
Moe is quiet, doesn't bark, and overall just wants what all boxers want: a family who will love him unconditionally. So, if you want to give Moe lots of love and a forever home, fill out and application today to take him home! Moe is being fostered by Stephanie in Jacksonville.

Update:He is steadily putting on weight and is starting to learn some new tricks. He is loving boxer playtime with his foster brother, and even with his mix sister. Moe is sweet, loving and affectionate. He is a pure joy and a loving family would be lucky to have him. Please fill out an application today!

Devin

Hello everyone! My name is Devin and I am about 4 years old. I am currently living in the Gainesville area with my foster family. My foster family includes a female Boxer and two female Chihuahuas and I am learning my place in the pack. There are also these weird things called goats that my foster parents have and I really want to play with them but I’m not allowed. I have also discovered the neighbor dogs and love to run up and down the fence line with them and my Boxer foster sister. I am housebroken and crate trained so you don’t have to worry about me going in the house. I also know how to sit, lay-down, come and shake. When I go outside and do my business and my foster parents take too long to let me in, I’ll remind them that I am waiting by tapping on the door. Also, I am more than happy to sleep on my blanket next to the couch or bed and not get on the furniture unless I am invited or it’s the middle of the night and I sneak up on the couch until the morning. Oh, I’ve been told that I snore but I don’t believe it! If you think you would like to meet me and possibly adopt me, you’ll have to start by filling out an application. So what are you waiting for?
Devin is being fostered by Eric & Kim in the Gainesville area.

Maverick

Meet BARC's "Top Gun." Ladies, have you "Lost that Lovin' Feeling?" Guys, are you looking for your new wingman? Well, we have got the boy for you! This is Maverick and he's way cooler than Tom Cruise. This boxer blend is a big guy who loves kids and chew toys, but is great at not confusing the two! He's got plenty of energy and likes playtime, but also enjoys relaxing and a good snuggle at the end of the day. Mav is great at giving out kisses too! (Check out his road trip video.)

Mav is housebroken, crate trained (he actually likes it), knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. He plays great with his foster sister, but no kitties, please. Why not do this handsome, lovable guy a favor and do a flyby to check him out; you won't be disappointed. Mav is being fostered by Cindy in DeFuniak Springs, FL.

Erin

Boxer kisses for everyone!!! Hi I'm Erin! I am 1-2 years old. If you get close enough, you will be kissed. You've been warned. Besides my over-abundant love I'm a laid back kinda gal. I prefer cuddling and napping over frisbees and tennis balls any day, but I still love to get outdoors for a little exercise. I do great with other dogs, but I tend to chase down the neighborhood cat whenever I see it. So if you have a cat at home we may not get along that well, unless they really love playing 'tag'. I'm fully house trained, but my foster dad did catch me in the act once. But I swear I've been a good girl ever since! I am learning how to sit when asked, and so far I've been doing a good job at it... but sometimes I don't do it right away, instead I do a little dance from paw to paw to impress my humans, but I don't think they get it. If you're looking for a little love ball that will be waiting at the door when you come home, I'm your gal. Erin is being fostered by Chris in Gainesville.

Jordan

Jordan is a beautiful two year old boy who is still very "puppy." He is energetic and loves to play fetch with his toys. He is also calm, sweet and loves to be petted, and will put his head in your lap when the opportunity presents itself. Jordan is a bit skittish when outside on walks, but we think that's because he's not used to it. It's rather amusing and completely harmless!

Jordan is housebroken (will whine to go outside), crate trained and walks well on a leash. He knows basic commands and will often put his paw out to shake when he responds to the command to sit. He seems to enjoy the company of other dogs and was respectful to the older dog he lived with for a few days. If you would like to learn more about Jordan, please fill out an application today.

Harper

Harper is a Boxer Terrier mix (aka "shadow Boxer") who lived at one of our shelter partner facilities for five months. She was brought in as a pregnant stray, became ill, and was nursed back to health. She had healthy puppies and was reported as a great mom by the shelter staff. Her foster mom saw her on their website and something about her little face grabbed her foster mom’s heart. “Mom” went out to meet her and found her to be sweet but very shy and withdrawn. What great news that BARC agreed to bring her into program!

Once in her new foster home, she just blossomed immediately into a very happy, well-behaved and quite funny little girl! She weighs between 30-35lbs., is Heartworm negative and will be spayed very soon. She now lives with 5 foster brothers and sisters (3 pugs and 2 boxers) and gets along very well with all of them. She has become the comedian in the family and will get her siblings running and chasing and having a grand old time! She occasionally displays a little toy protection but is very responsive to correction. Once acclimated, she alerted to her foster mom when she needed to go outside. She’s comfortable in her crate and will sleep the entire night without a peep. She’s become a very joyful little addition to her foster home!

If you find your heart tugged on by Miss Harper, too, please fill out an application.

Allison and Jerry are fostering Harper in the Greater Jacksonville area.

Kissin Kate

Kate is a beautiful 1 - 2 year old girl who loves to give kisses. She is a very sweet, happy and loving girl.
She was found as a stray covered with fleas and underweight. What a change now with some
TLC! Kate is crate trained and will go into her crate if told to do so. She is pretty well house broken.
Kate is living with her foster brother and two cats. She seems to want to smell and play with the cats
but they will have no part of Kate. We are still working on a slow introduction.
She loves people, children and going for rides in the truck. Kate gets excited upon someone
coming home but calms down right away and likes to be where you are.
She plays with her toys happily. Kate is being fostered by Robin in Jacksonville.

Decker

Decker is a "fit right in" companion. He is a joy to have around, not only for the people in the house, but for the pets as well. He gets along very well with the three dogs (large and small) and two cats in the home. He is very happy-go-lucky and playful, with a calm energy about him.
Decker is approximately six years old and weighs 43 lbs. He is housebroken and walks well on a leash. He can be crated, but prefers his freedom. His foster family rates him a "10" and says that he will make an awesome member of his forever family!
If you would like more information on Decker, please fill out an application today. He is being fostered by Shae and Daniel in Jacksonville.

Brady

Brady is an AWESOME energetic 1 ½ year old white male boxer with hearing. This pretty boy is approximately 60 pounds and is heartworm negative, housebroken and crate trained. He is great on a leash too. He is currently being treated for a skin condition which should be cleared up soon. He is great with other dogs, big and small, and doesn’t seem to mind cats (his foster home has four and he doesn’t even acknowledge them). He is good with children, but is all legs and loves to jump, so a home without very small children may be best. He would love to spend his days just playing whether it is with you or other dogs. When you are busy and can’t play, though, he will quietly lay close by. He has learned basic commands (sit and lay down) within a very short time. If you are looking for a loving boxer full of life, Brady is your dog. Brady is being fostered by Elayne in Tallahassee.

Trinity

Trinity is a fun three year old sweetheart!! She LOVES playing with toys and doesn't even need anyone to play with. She can throw her own toy up in the air so she can catch it. She is great with the kids in the house and does not jump. She is housebroken and crate trained.

The only thing she is lacking now is a family to give her that forever home. Please fill out an application and give her the chance to make someone so happy.
She is being fostered by Rob in Ocala.

Robbie

Hey, I'm Robbie! I'm an eight year old gent whose owners used the ole "don't have time for him" excuse to dump me in my old age. I was in very poor condition when entering the BARC program and analysis by a BARC veterinarian found that I had a kidney issue that had been ignored by my previous owner. I will require special food for the rest of my life as well as medication but it is very inexpensive. My foster mom says I act more like a four year old and loves that I am housebroken, know how to sit, and play well with my boxer sister and cat. I am crate trained also. I love walks and car rides and a nice nap by your feet when we get home. Life sure is much better, but I would really love for you to give me my forever home. All the neighbors love me, and I am sure you will too! Robbie is being fostered by Julie in Pensacola.

Priscilla

Priscilla delivered puppies shortly after being put in a dropbox at a local shelter. She was completely emaciated, but even so, was an amazing mother. The puppies have all been adopted and Priscilla has recovered and is ready for adoption as well. She is an incredibly sweet and loving girl and deserves a home of her own. Please consider adding Priscilla to your family. She is being fostered by Nina in Lake City.

Rolo

This is one of Priscilla's puppies born 4/9/12. We are currently taking applications for the puppies but they will not be ready to go home with their new families until they are spayed/neutered at eight weeks.

Twix

Lenny

Lenny was badly neglected before he came to BARC but as you can see from the pictures, he is now a beautiful boy. We estimate he is about 3-4 yrs of age. As with most boxers, he loves his toys and is extremely affectionate. He wants to be by your side at all times. He will sit on command and get on his bed when it's time. Lenny is all personality and would make someone a wonderful companion.

Lenny gets along very well with other canines, felines, and even chickens. He knows basic commands, is house trained and crate trained. Lenny is looking for a home that can give him love and plenty of attention. Please consider giving Lenny a well deserved loving home. Lenny is being fostered by Delita in Crawfordville.

Forney

This poor boy's life got a lot better when he entered the BARC program to say the least. His former owner put a harness on him as a puppy and must have never checked on his well being again. Obviously, the harness quickly became far too small for his growing body and it became horrifically embedded in his flesh. Poor Forney had to have the entire harness surgically removed by veterinary surgeons.
Despite this inexcusable ordeal, two year old Forney is a happy-go-lucky fellow and the physical scars are the only reminders of the life so fortunately left far behind him. He has healed nicely from the surgery and has no remaining health issues.

Victor

Victor is an amazing companion! He is a big boy (70 lbs) with the typical Boxer wiggle butt, animated face, and awesome cheery personality. Once he's comfortable with his environment he is VERY well-mannered and mindful. He spends most of his energy on smiling and being a people-pleaser. Victor is very gentle with the 15 yr. old house cat and two rescue kittens in his foster home. When its party time, he joyfully romps with the 35 lb dog in the foster home.

Victor is an entertainer at heart- plopping down sideways when he sits, giving double high-fives and prancing about with squeaky toys on wood/laminate floors. Sometimes he slides sideways on smooth surfaces just for fun. Victor is going to make a forever family very happy!
He is being fostered by Shae and Daniel in Jacksonville.

Ivy

This cutie pie is Ivy. She is an approximately four year old Boxer mix and lounging around the house is her favorite activity. Ivy is not so much into rowdy play as she is into being a love bug to everyone she meets. Her brindle coloring and happy jolly self reflect the Boxer in her while the English Bulldog side gives her a laid back attitude. Ivy is about 55 lbs and is very submissive and gentle. She loves children and other dogs, is crate trained, housebroken, and knows some basic commands. This girl does not have a confrontational bone in her body, except to maybe the occasional lizard she likes to chase when out in the yard. Ivy is being fostered by Chris in Gainesville.

Nelson

Crate trained? Check. Housebroken? Check. Good with children? Check. Good with other dogs? Check. Good with cats? Well, nobody's perfect but he's pretty close! Nelson is a six year old handsome fellow who was rescued when his owner fell on some hard times.
Nelson is currently being fostered with two children age six and 10. He is a well-mannered fellow who knows how to sit, shake hands, and snore loudly during naps. Like most Boxers, he has a playful nature. He would love to meet you!

Phantom

If you are looking for a sweet natured, calm energy boy, look no further! He is being fostered by Elayne and Ron in Tallahassee.

Chief

Chief is sweet natured, loving and has that wonderful calm energy that is hard to find in such a young dog; he loves to play with the other dogs in the foster home, but will lay quietly beside you when the house settles down. He is housebroken, crate trained and is doing well with the cats in the home too – interested, but a soft correction redirects his attention elsewhere. According to his foster parents, he is one of the best fosters they’ve had, so if you are looking for a terrific young dog for your family, you can’t go wrong with this one! Chief is fully vetted and ready for adoption.
He is being fostered by Jackie in Jacksonville.

Copper

Have you ever received a bright new shinny copper penny as change? Well if you have you know how nice and bright they are and that is a perfect description of me. My name is Copper and I am a handsome four year old boxer boy with a bright and shiny personality. I am housebroken, crate trained and know basic obedience. I also offer: unconditional love, affection, and shadowing.

I really love car rides. If you love going for long road trips, just open the back door, let me in, put it in gear and forget about me because I’ll be more than happy to lie down and you won’t even remember that I am back there. Also, if you have kids, grandchildren or any other kids in your life, I’ll be more than happy to wear them out so that we all can sleep good at night. Walks are also fun and I do very well on walks and meeting other dogs. I am getting along awesomely with my foster sisters-one is a boxer like me and the other two are Chihuahuas. I can sleep on the floor next to the bed, on the couch or on the bed at night, whichever you prefer. I am housebroken and will go in the crate when you leave if you bribe me with a chewy covered in peanut butter. I also know “sit”, “shake”, “down” and “come here”. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application and let’s see if we are a match. I am being fostered by Eric & Kim in the Gainesville area.

He is being fostered by Traci in Jacksonville.

Peyton

This two year old handsome boy is housebroken, crate trained, and has basic obedience training. He is good with other dogs and his foster home feels that in time, he could possibly be placed with cats as well.

His owner surrendered him to a shelter when he no longer had time for him.

Sara is being fostered by Melodie in Alachua, FL.

Stromboli

We have put Stromboli on happy stories because he had a foster dad, Chris, who loved and cared about him when he passed away. Strobe’s former owner unfortunately did not care about him enough to pay a minimal amount to keep him on monthly heartworm prevention. When he was in foster care we tried our best to save him but the heartworm disease was so advanced that we could not and he died after a few months in our program. Our hearts are broken and so was his. PLEASE don't ever let your dog go without heartworm prevention. RIP sweet Strobe, you will be missed. [More]

Tinker

Hey! Wait a minute! Don't skip over me so fast. Let me ask you something. Do you LIKE having your shoes chewed on? What about throwing a ball for the 100th time or cleaning up after a dog IN your
house? How about sleepless nights because of a howling dog? No? Well, I'm your girl. You see I'm past that stage of my life. You might say I'm old, but I would say I'm mature. I am still a Boxer with those awesome Boxer traits but a mellowed down version; for example, I still get
excited when you get home and I shake my nub but I sure don't break anything from the excitement (like your favorite picture frame). I know all the basics of being a good dog. I'm completely housebroken, know how to loose-leash walk, can sleep comfortably and quietly in a crate for eight hours, and I don't demand a ton of exercise. Plus I don't have all those silly puppy traits like jumping or nipping at your heels when you walk. Think about it, you get all the perks with none of the pain of raising a young dog. Sweet deal, right? I'm looking for the right place to spend my golden years where I can get a
consistent schedule and a minimum amount of love and attention to be happy. I love people, never met a stranger and those customers at Home Depot or the repair man seem to like me. I enjoy car rides, I
even do well on longer car rides; even trips to vet, I'm not afraid at all. I walk with anticipation of all the affection I will get. My
foster parents do not have cats so I don't know how I would get along with them but I like my foster brother, a younger fawn Boxer. If you
want an easy-going Boxer to share your life with then give me a shot. And hey, I know you might have concerns about my health but let me tell you this: I've had my share of lumps and bumps like every other Boxer but I've yet to get a bad diagnosis. So, how 'bout it? I have LOTS of love to give and I wouldn't mind some love in return. Boxer kisses to you!

Oliver

Kira

Kira is a big, lovable and goofy sweetheart! She came to us through a shelter partner after she was seized for inappropriate confinement. Despite that, she is a very sweet-natured girl. Her house manners are pretty good, but she needs a little help with learning how to walk well on a leash.

Kira is 3-4 years old and weighs 65 lbs, but could use another five pounds. She is housebroken, crate trained and good with other dogs, big and small. We are not sure about cats, and due to her size should be watched around very small children, since she could easily knock them down. Kira loves attention, desires to please and with some patience and training, she will become a wonderful companion. If a big ol' goofball of a boxer girl with a very endearing under bite and a stunning and soft red brindle coat is appealing, please fill out an application today. Kira is being fostered by Allison and Jerry.

Cotton

My name is Cotton - not just because I'm white, but because my hair is super soft! Just like a pile of Cotton! I'm a big boy - 60lbs of cuteness to be exact! My foster mom thinks I look bigger than I really am because I'm so tall and lanky. She thinks I may have some more growing to do and says that my head and feet seem too big for my body. I love to chow down, so adding a little meat on my bones shouldn't be too much of a problem. But...please be careful and watch me eat because sometimes I get so excited I literally inhale my food. These people here have the best dog food in the world!! They keep me safe in an XL wire kennel when they go to work - I think it's just because they don't know me well enough yet. I doubt it has anything to do with my curiosity with their beautiful and sparkly Christmas trees, but who am I to say? I have two Boxer brothers. One is an old grump and he just doesn't really do much but lay around. However, the other one is just a wee bit older than me and boy do we know how to have a good time! We love to play tug-of-war, chase the birds out back, and of course we like to box with each other! Duh! Now, I do have a Boxer sister (pssst...she's a little grouchy). I think it's because she's used to being the only white Boxer in the family. Not to mention she's a little spoiled and doesn't like to share the spotlight. We do okay together, but she can just be a little mean sometimes. I'm never mean to her though. I just get up, brush the dirt off my elbows, and go on about my business. I know girls can get a little moody sometimes. There aren't any cats here, but I'm pretty sure I'd get along with them just fine...as long as they aren't like my foster sister! Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you - I potty OUTSIDE! I also walk well on a leash and I love to ride in the car. I do have one request of my new adoptive family though, could you please make sure you have someone for me to play with? I love to play - anything will do - big humans, little humans, and/or dog(s). Someone who likes to snuggle would be great as well! I don't play all the time, I like to snuggle some, too!

Tank

Tank is a six-seven year old boxer/bulldog mix who was adopted from us in 2007. He currently weighs in at 75 lbs but he is on a diet. Tank was dearly loved by his adopter and was returned to us only because death parted them. When Tank's beloved Bill passed away, Tank was curled around him as a true friend to the end would be.

If you are looking for a great dog with a known history, Tank is your man. He has lived with three other dogs, male and female, ranging from 15 to 55 lbs. He integrates easily with other pack members both human and canine. A true gentle giant-he doesn't challenge and is just happy to be included.

Hi, my name is Bert and I need a place to call home! I'm a 3 year old Boxer/Bulldog mix that weighs 50 pounds. I'm housebroken and I don't mind being in a crate.

In addition to snuggling, I enjoy walks, belly rubs and being outside.

Bert was diagnosed with a degenerative disease which caused him to go blind at a young age. That doesn't stop him from getting around and learning new tricks.

Adam

Hi, my name is Adam. Don't let my grey hair fool you; even though I am not as young as I use to be, I still have many good years ahead of me. I will keep you busy, since I love to play. I have a lot of energy and I love having fun; I just need a family who wants to have fun with me. I really like hanging out with people and love to be the center of attention. I am very healthy - no love handles on me! I have no problem with cats or other dogs. I hang out with 7 and 9 year old humans; they feed me so I really like them. I will sleep in your bed if you let me (to keep your feet warm) but if you insist on the crate, I understand. I really like going for rides in the car, so if you are looking for a co-pilot I am your guy. I am not a picky eater and I really like treats. If you get too close to me, I just HAVE to give you kisses. If you have a second I really like being scratched behind my ears - it makes my leg shake. I call that my happy dance. I like hanging out with my foster family, but I would really like to find my forever home. If you are looking for a faithful companion, I am the one for you!

Adam is around 10 years old and is housebroken, crate trained and walks pretty well on a leash. He is in the process of learning basic commands and is just a great all around dog. If you are interested in this sweet boy, please fill out an application today. He is being fostered by Jackie in Jacksonville, FL.

Ritchie

This little boy is a jewel! Richie is playful but not demanding. He loves to be held and receive attention but does not demand it. He gets along with older dogs who do not like to play; he is interested but doesn't aggravate them - in fact, he will take them toys to entice them to play, but will quietly go about his business when they don't respond.
Ritchie is so patient with the other young puppy in the house and never gets mad at her even when she insists on eating his food or biting his ears. He simply goes to the other bowl to eat and tolerates her relentless demands to play.
This extra special boy has the potential to be an outstanding companion. Ritchie likes people, dogs, and he would probably like cats as he does not seem to have a high prey drive. If you would like to add this 10 week old pup to your family, please fill out an application today! He is being fostered by Karen in Jacksonville, FL.

Jase

Hi, my name is Jase and I'm extremely happy and blessed! (Can you see my nub wiggling?) One minute I'm flying on a plane for my rescue and the next minute I'm happily licking the faces of my foster folks! I've adjusted really well so far. I get to sleep in a dog bed! Cozy and comfy! Who knew?! New things are great! I like my foster Dad a lot because he is always doing something new and different and so I follow him very closely to see what interesting thing he is doing. Most of the time it leads to treats! Speaking of treats, I quickly learned proper potty behavior and even know what doors to go to when I need to be let out...and then there are treats! My favorite treats are milk bones, head petting, and kisses. Did I mention I give great kisses?!! I'm pretty quiet generally, but when I first get in my crate I like to make sure it's known I miss you already... I like my crate though I prefer a lap...just being honest. I live with three foster dog siblings both big and small. They play a lot with toys and they like running around. While I like them fine, I'm still working on new routines, picking up some weight and bonding with the folks and so I'm a little shy. I'm not too familiar with cats or kids yet, but so far I'm pretty laid back about new things and think I'd like both. A few of my favorite activities are watching t.v. while snuggling and laying at foster Mom's feet if she is busy in the kitchen. The foster folks say I am a wonderful boy that has won their hearts! What they want most for me is a FOREVER family that is ready to open their arms (and laps) and hearts. I am best described as gentle, calm, very sweet and loving, loyal and eager to please. If interested, please fill out an application and schedule some time to come meet me please! YOURS, Jase!

Hello, everyone! I'm Ashlee... the newest 6 years young Boxer girl in BARC. I'm a very sweet, friendly girl who has yet to meet a stranger in the short time I've been in the program. Already I've proven myself to be great with other dogs and small children. For 78 pounds, I'm really gentle too. I'm great in a crate, fully house-broken, and not terrible on a leash (come on, give me a little credit... I can't WAIT to meet new people and dogs so I tend to pull in excitement). Due to some sad family circumstances, my family had to give me up, but that hasn't changed my sweet disposition. My tongue is always wanting to give kisses and my butt is always wiggling for attention. My foster mom has already determined me to be a perfect ambassador for the breed with looks, a great disposition, friendliness, and a good energy level.

Shelton

Pick me! Shelton is my name and loving and playing is my game! I am a big, gentle 3 - 4 yr old boy weighing in at 70 lbs and still picking up weight from my stray days. I am having a great time in my foster home eating three squares a day and getting treats-a-plenty in between. Come to think of it I haven't met a treat I don't like! I get along great with the three house dogs both big and small. During the day and when I go to bed I get to hang out in my 'good boy' room, aka crate. Then at night I'm a snuggler by trade, but when you get me up playing, I'm a barrel of laughs and a bit of a goofball. I like to run and pounce when I play fetch with stuffed toys. I'm very good and gentlemanly on walks too. I haven't gotten to hang out with cats or kids but think I would like both with no problem. I love riding in the car and taking in the breeze. I like to bark and greet people that come to the house, but other than that I'm a quiet boy. My foster family loves me very much and are excited about finding me a forever family! They give me two paws up! I'm extremely loyal, well-mannered, trained with the basics and ready to move in!

Merlin

Hi, I’m Merlin and I’ve been "downsized" from my original home. After four years, I’m reentering the tough forever-home market, but I know that I’ve got skills! I used to spend a lot of time outside, but know that when you are inside you don’t go to the bathroom, only chew on my own toys, stay off of the furniture (but I would climb up if you left me out while gone) and don’t argue about food with my foster brother. I love to play with people and am really happy around kids. I know to come when my name is called but I have no idea what the word 'come' means. I’ve been learning to sit and if somebody teaches me I’ll learn. I respond well to my foster dad’s voice and looks (at least that is what he says). I don't bark just to hear myself and am friendly, but cautious, when people come to the door. I’m keeping a positive attitude as I look for a forever home and am not letting anything stop me. My foster dad says that I'm pretty smart, since I can open a door by myself - as long as it's got a lever handle that goes to the right! It's pretty cool that I can let my foster brother in the house if Dad's busy.

Merlin is 4 years old and is housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands and walks well on a leash (maybe a little pulling when he starts out). He does well with other dogs (especially if they like to play) and doesn't bother cats. He is being fostered by Ross in High Springs, FL.

I behave myself really well despite not being taught any commands, and my foster mom is starting to teach me the skills to be an obedient boy.

If you adopt me I will shower you with the love and affection I've been giving my foster family. Braddock is being fostered by Corrie in Ft. Walton Beach, FL.
